Hi,

I am a new learner on Dynamics 365 Business Central. Recently, I started vastly studying it. And found that the NAV 2018 is the last version of NAVISION C/AL language and the new one is Business Center 365 is AL Language. AL means Algorithmic Language... right?

So, my question is that what are the benefits of Algorithmic Language coding? I am interested but have not found it details.

NAV 2018 you can use AL. It is helpful to know both if you have a role where you use both. If not then spending more time on AL is wise as this is going to receive updates and C/AL is not.

AL has brought in the ability to use modern development tools like VS Code, Git and Dev Ops/GitHub. You can then blend a solution to use other programming languages like java script or python. AL also has more modern features to work with different data types, although C/AL has the ability to use .NET assemblies.
