Dear friends,

I have learned Salesforce CRM and have completed couple of volunteer projects, but I see only requirements for MS CRM developer/MS NAV/ AX in my current location, so I am thinking of learning once on those product, I am basically from manual testing background, know little bit basic C and K shell scripting. I have reached other forums (AX/NAV) to see what skills needs to learn those, I would like to know

1) what to learn first in order to become MS CRM developer?

2) how can i setup practice environment at home to practice the CRM development?

3) is there any non-profit org available to get volunteer projects like Salesforce?

4) can we find any free projects online to try it on our own?

any help on this would be really appreciated?

thanks,

Hi newbie_edmon,

It is really important to understand the OOTB capabilities of Dynamics 365 (CRM) regardless you are a User, Functional Consultant, or Developer. We often see developers trying to write code to implement things which are OOTB or can easily be configured using Workflows, Business Rules etc. If you are new to Dynamics 365 (CRM) I recommend you learn the basics first. I wrote an article with learning resources which be found below.

dyn365apps.com/.../learn-dynamics-365-learning-resources

With regards to Developer skills, C# .NET and JavaScript are the core skill sets required. Developer specific resources can be found below.

Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) (For Developers)

MSDN site includes code samples and reference guides for Dynamics 365 Server-side and Client-side development.

MSDN – Dynamics 365 – msdn.microsoft.com/.../crmdevelopercenter.aspx

Client-side Programming Reference

msdn.microsoft.com/.../gg328255.aspx

Extend Microsoft Dynamics 365 on the server

You can register for a 30 day free trial of Dynamics 365 (CRM) Online using below link.
