Training: ALchemy: Turning AL code into SOLID gold
Price:400 USD
Vjekoslav Babic
Vjekoslav Babic, or just Vjeko as he prefers to go by in the community in a vain attempt to simplify his absurd Slavic name, is a Business Central architect, developer, trainer, author and blogger. With more than two decades of experience in the IT, he worked with vast range of technologies, but his passion has always been anything that had to do with the web and mobile worlds.
Deep down, Vjeko is an incurable hacker who took quite a long time to realize that the one thing he really loves is writing code, plain and simple. He immensely enjoys breaking things apart to see how they work, not necessarily always putting them back together. As a frequent speaker at conferences, in his demos, and on his blog, he is always pushing the boundaries of what's possible, connecting the world of Business Central with just about anything that can be plugged into it through some obscure loophole or undocumented interface, especially if they are not meant to be used that way. In Vjeko's view, nothing is really meant to be used in any particular way and figuring out how to make things useful beyond their intended purpose is the meaning of life, in a way.
Since spring 2010, Vjeko has been awarded the Most Valuable Professional (MVP) award for Microsoft Dynamics NAV. You can meet him at his blog "Vjeko.com - ideas in the cloud".
SOLID principles are key to developing high-quality software, and they're just as relevant in the AL world as anywhere else. In this workshop, you'll see firsthand how applying these principles to Business Central development leads to more maintainable, flexible, better-structured code that stands the test of time and adapts easily to new requirements.
The workshop will focus on each of the five SOLID principles: it explains what they mean in theory, and shows how to apply it with a lot of practical, easy-to-follow examples in AL. The workshop follows a case study example, designed for a comprehensive hands-on experience, where you'll transform an existing AL solution written in traditional way into one that applies SOLID principles throughout. This isn't just about making minor adjustments; it's about reshaping the code entirely to make it more robust, easier to read and maintain, and efficient to test.
By participating, you'll gain valuable skills in enhancing the quality and testability of your AL code. This workshop is about providing you with the tools and knowledge to write Business Central code that is not only functional but also - well - solid, on every possible level, code that's ready for the cloud and the challenges of tomorrow's business requirements.
Prerequisites: To attend this workshop you need a laptop, with access to a development environment (either an online sandbox, or local Docker) where you can deploy and develop without limitations.
