Learning Application Language

(2) ShareShare

Hi:

Is it possible to learn Application Language quickly and in, say, a week?

Would someone please refresh my memory on some good resources, for this?

Is there anyone out there that conducts training on this for a fee?

John

    Learning Application Language
    Recently I needed a service in writing student papers, I thought for a long time about who to contact and decided that I would order the work from professionals and here is the service of literature review writers and how quickly they completed the work, you can’t even imagine, I’m so glad that I turned to them, I think that my teacher will evaluate my work with the highest score. Because I plan to continue to receive a scholarship, it is very important for me to study well and always get a high score.

    Nowadays there are many apps and online platforms for learning languages, and it's great that you no longer need to look for experienced teachers in your city. Platforms such as https://promova.com make it possible to learn English at a time convenient for you, as well as find an excellent tutor and even a native speaker, with whom learning English will be most effective.

    No that is simply not possible. Anyone that says otherwise is joking ;-)
    It takes time to learn the basic objects, the programming language, the standards and then the data model,...
    And the only way to learn is to do and practise.
     
    Would you go to a doctor who 'learned it' in 1 week/year? ;-)
     
    Here's a good starting point:
     
    Have a look on learn, and simply do the math on how long it takes to simply READ these courses :-):-):-)

    Hi, If you mean AL Language, I have compiled some MS Learn resources, hoping to give you some help.

    And, Steve has sorted out a lot of Dynamics 365 BC Resources List, hoping to give you some hints too.

    You can learn the basics in an intensive week if you set your mind to it. At least if you have a background from another programming language.  But it is only through real experience that you learn how to apply the knowledge.

    The set of keywords in AL is really not that large. But it is also important to study how the standard application is built or at least be able to go into the base application and read code there for different areas.
