C/AL – Coding For Performance

This year I had the pleasure of speaking at NAV TechDays 2017, and that together with Jörg Stryk, where we presented our Coding for Performance session. I have to say that amidst all the product news and features, I wasn’t entirely convinced of the need for, or benefit of such a topic. After all, this is nothing new. But the interest was high and as it was pointed out to me – sometimes it is good to be reminded.
It was also subtly suggested that it might be worth considering a shot before going on stage, but that’s another story 
With our session, we wanted to highlight one important aspect of performance – the code we write, and clear some of the confusion around c/al statements and their effect on performance, as well as outline some common mistakes and do’s and don’ts when coding. Furthermore we looked into troubleshooting queries and bottlenecks in code. There is a lot to say on this topic, and the time was limited (after all, the beer tasting was right after this), but we tried to recap at least the most important things.
The recording will be posted eventually.
