C# programmer venturing to al in 2019, looking forward to more SOLID principles in codes and less wild west.

Historically BC code was never written with testability in mind. When coding tests against this code, it leaves us with ample option than setting up a lot of data before the action under test can be exercised.
Ideally you probably would like to refactor your code to comply with SOLID principles and make your automated test effort overall much simpler. But often our vast code heritage and new projects ahead do not allow us to get that prioritized and leaves us with non-SOLID code to write test automation against.
In this workshop you will learn about, and apply, various ways to efficiently set up data when creating automated tests for code that does not comply with SOLID principles.

Ever searched YouTube for "Power Automate flows"? There are 100s of videos, maybe more! Try searching for "Power Automate flows for Business Central" and you'll find about a dozen. And most of them focus on the simple demo examples of Workflow approval or create flows using out-of-the-box BC API pages.
Great for some demo magic, but it doesn't get you very far when you need to create flows for the real world.
Here's where I can help. I'll teach you how to use data from your custom tables and pages, and call bound actions to run code in Business Central from your Power Automate flow.
And best of all, it's not really that hard once you learn how it's done. No fluff, no kool-aid, just real talk and real examples.
Vjekoslav Babić, 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.

Let's face it, testing AL code isn't exactly the highlight of anyone's day. It's often seen as a chore – time-consuming to write and even more so to run. But what if it didn't have to be that way?
This deep dive session is going to change your perspective on unit tests. Forget the tedious integration tests; we're talking about the real champions – simple, fast, and accurate unit tests. They're your first line of defense against those pesky bugs and regressions. You'll see why they're so crucial and how they can actually make your life easier.
But the real game-changer? Test doubles. These are the secret sauce to making testing in AL a walk in the park. This session demystifies them for you – what they are, the different types there are, and the right time to use each one for maximum efficiency.
It's not just talk, though. You'll see a lot of code that will turn your view on both coding and testing upside down! You'll see how to tackle dependencies, and how to interact with the base and system apps in a clean, testable way. And yes, we'll answer that burning question: can you really trust test doubles and what is it that you are truly testing?
Join this session and learn how to elevate your testing game in AL. It's all about writing clean, efficient, robust, code and sharp, focused, meaningful tests that don't feel like a drag.

Modern Business Central solutions typically are composed of multiple extensions, but also external integrations to some kind of webservice, other 3rd-party components or even alternative frontends become more and more common. While we have established ideas how to assure the quality of the BC components, it often is not as clear what we should do to also make sure the rest has the required quality level.
In this session we will look at different scenarios, covering frontend and performance testing, but also a bit of chaos engineering. Afterwards, you should have a good idea how to approach quality assurance outside of BC as well.

Are you using the HttpClient in AL? And are you using it in the right way? You may think that if it works, then it should be ok. It looks quite straightforward, right? However, some underlying issues go unnoticed until you use the HttpClient under a heavier load. And when you run into those issues, you may have less time to figure out what's happening. Solving those issues might even require a redesign of the code. So you better do it right from the beginning!
In this session, we will look into those potential issues and show the best way of using the HttpClient in your solution. We will also look into the new Rest Client module in the system app and how to implement that in your solution. Including a sneak peek into a module that pushes the Rest Client module to the next level with support for OAuth and endpoint configuration!
Are you ready to roll up your sleeves and dive into the coding trenches with true OGs? This session is FOR OGs, by OGs. And if you don't know what that stands for: "Original Gangsters." No, not dinosaurs, because we are not extinct, are we? 😉
This session is all about embracing the oh-so-many changes. We'll explore some of the topics that we think are very important to cover. Obviously not as a deep, deep dive session, but more like a touch of joy on what has changed and what to look forward to, like:
There might be more, there might be less - we'll see - gansta style!
Whether you're an OG yourself or just starting out, come prepared to learn, laugh, and leave with some serious coding swagger (pun intended).

The move from C/AL to AL brought many new development paradigms to our industry. Source Control, Extensions, Cloud-first approach, just to name a few.
One of them is also the Code Review which is a huge addition to code quality. The change happened a few years ago and partners adopted many different approaches to Code Reviews. But Code Reviews aren’t new, many mature industries have been using them for decades, and now AI is supposed to help with that as well.
I believe now is a good time to stop for a moment, review our code review processes, and talk about best practices. How to ensure code reviews are not overwhelming? What are communication best practices, so the comments are well received? How to prevent “rubber stamping” pull requests? What tools can make them more manageable? How can the GitHub Copilot help with all of that?
Join the session to see how we can take the effectiveness of code reviews to another level.

Discover strategies for writing robust tests that validate the safety and accuracy of your Copilot features, ensuring your applications meet the highest standards of quality.
In 1999, Luc van Vugt stepped into the Dynamics 365 Business Central world, training hundreds of developers. After Microsoft acquired Navision, he joined Microsoft’s Dynamics localization team GDL as tester, UA specialist, and project lead. For 6 years, he was closely involved with all successive releases. Since he left Microsoft, he has become an active community member by means of his blog. He is co-founder of Dutch Dynamics Community and a speaker at conferences. For all his community work, Luc has been awarded MS MVP since 2011. In 2014, he co-founded NAV Skills, supporting Dynamics 365 Business Central, at that time still called Dynamics NAV, pros around the globe with, among other things, webinars until 2019. He continued ever since to organize webinars under the flag of Areopa webinars. In 2012, Luc started fluxxus.nl, doing miscellaneous projects, including Dynamics 365 Business Central development courses and workshops on design patterns, and automated testing. Luc is one of the main driving forces on test automation in the Dynamics 365 Business Central community.

Historically BC code was never written with testability in mind. When coding tests against this code, it leaves us with ample option than setting up a lot of data before the action under test can be exercised.
Ideally you probably would like to refactor your code to comply with SOLID principles and make your automated test effort overall much simpler. But often our vast code heritage and new projects ahead do not allow us to get that prioritized and leaves us with non-SOLID code to write test automation against.
In this workshop you will learn about, and apply, various ways to efficiently set up data when creating automated tests for code that does not comply with SOLID principles.

If you want to maximize the throughput of your Business Central online environments, then this session is for you.
The Business Central online service scales automatically to accommodate the load you throw at it, and we will explain how it does that.
Does this mean that you can never have problems with performance in BC online? Of course not. The responsibility for getting high throughput is shared between Microsoft and partners, and we will cover design and configuration patterns for achieving high throughput as well as ways to troubleshoot when performance problems do appear.
This session offers a deep dive into how to leverage some of the newer authorization concepts in BC online: Security groups, service to service auth (S2S), new Dynamics 365 Business Central Administrator role, and more. How do they work, when to use them, and how to troubleshoot them?

During this workshop, we'll dive deeper in Telemetry and Performance. In short, I'll introduce you in both:
But this is not just going to be an introduction - don't worry. We'll put both to use by combining them: we'll use our own codeunits to test performance for certain functionalities - analyze it with our own KQL queries, get insights in PowerBI and follow up the performance of our software over time with PowerBI Metrics.
It's going to be a hands-on workshop, so you will need to prepare a few things:

If you're interested in making your job much more efficient .. this is your session!
I will cover following key points:
You'll leave this session with an ability to never run out of work again (and I mean that in the most positive way). An ability to a never-ending improvement to your product, to make it the most shining gem it can be.
Are you ready to roll up your sleeves and dive into the coding trenches with true OGs? This session is FOR OGs, by OGs. And if you don't know what that stands for: "Original Gangsters." No, not dinosaurs, because we are not extinct, are we? 😉
This session is all about embracing the oh-so-many changes. We'll explore some of the topics that we think are very important to cover. Obviously not as a deep, deep dive session, but more like a touch of joy on what has changed and what to look forward to, like:
There might be more, there might be less - we'll see - gansta style!
Whether you're an OG yourself or just starting out, come prepared to learn, laugh, and leave with some serious coding swagger (pun intended).
