Master Class Application Architecture & Design Patterns coming to UK

Did you read about this master class already? You should, so continue as it is really worthwhile as it discusses Dynamics NAV at a meta level bringing more structure to your understanding of it. And yes, even for those who have been working with NAV for ages already. We’re never too old to learn!

After successful performances in Canada, Netherlands, Belgium, Japan and Romania (and Iceland to go) the Dynamics NAV Master Class Application Architecture & Design Patterns is now coming to the UK.

Hosted by The NAV People and performed by Dynamics NAV MVP Luc van Vugt this 2 days training, initiated by Dynamics NAV MVP Mark Brummel, will be held on August 20 and 21, 2015.

I think this should be a mandatory class … developers who have the knowledge of design patterns and common coding practices inherently develop stronger, cleaner code.
Michael Hollinger, Harbor Wholesale Foods

An awesome course that covers the best practices of NAV development and application architecture.
Sukeev Kailayapathy, Second Foundation

During the workshop, we will reveal all the secrets that are hidden in the Dynamics NAV Source Code. You will get answers to questions like…

  • How is Dynamics NAV architected and how do the modules communicate?
  • What are Design Patterns and Anti Patterns and how do they apply to Dynamics NAV?
  • How can I avoid conflicts during my object merge?
  • Why does Dynamics NAV have so much Code Cloning?
  • Are the coding standard documented and how can apply them?
  • Can I implement Object Oriented concepts such as MVVM, overloading and reflection?
  • Best Practices such as Encapsulation and Natural Language Programming?
  • Be familiar with over 30 most used Design Patterns in Dynamics NAV?
  • What does a perfect UI look like to be repeatable in the cloud?

  1. Hi Tharanga,

    Mark has already been to Japan, so yes we are (not only) planning  that.

    Please send me a mail (lvanvugt@fluxxus.nl) to discuss more.

  2. 5 subscribers already … who's next?

  3. 2 more subscribers in the mean time making it 7 now (max. approx. 12).

  4. Hi Matthias,

    We are working on it. Nothing set yet for DE. However, we have workshops also planned in AT, DK and PL.

  5. For UK 1 subscriber more, making it 8 (of max. 12)

  6. 10 attendants for next week. @Paul Burville, unfortunate that you cannot be there. There surely will be a next time.
