How to Learn Dynamics NAV Development

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hi everyone :),

As the title says, how do I go about learning NAV Development, specifically on version 2009.

Are there any online materials/courses that exist? I've looked around and can't seem to find anything helpful on this subject!


I already know the basics and have coded up some Reports and Dataports, but was wondering if there was anything available to help me learn, rather than learning on the job by looking and learning from the exisiting code in place!!!
