Get started the right way in your Dynamics 365 X++ Developer Journey
Get started the right way in your Dynamics 365 X++ Developer Journey
This is a quick learning course for beginners in Dynamics 365 which covers how to fully utilize the tools in Visual Studio for Dynamics 365 development. It does not cover specific frameworks concerning how to code, as that is covered in our more advanced development courses. It teaches you how to utilize the development environment and what those Visual Studio options mean concerning Dynamics 365 F&S using a combination of lectures, hands-on walkthroughs, and several simplified code examples. Examples of exercises include debugging tasks where you learn to use the debugger, minor form tasks to introduce you to the designer, creating a report, viewing metadata, and various other practical, fast, and simple hands-on exercises to quickly become familiar with using the tools for base Dynamics 365 development. We are confident that the combination of guided hands-on experience and the scheduled lab access will make this course a big time-saver for those beginning their journey in Dynamics 365 development.
This is a fundamental course. The course is intended to be used as one of two courses designed to quickly bring beginners up to speed on the fundamentals of x++. Absolute beginners to Dynamics 365 development and people who are experienced with Dynamics AX 2012 development looking for a quick primer on the new development environment are the target audience.

Freelances as hands-on Technical Lead with very advanced development scenarios for Day Job
Brandon Ahmad is a Dynamics 365 Technical Solutions Architect and CEO of Instructor Brandon. In his years of experience working with different Microsoft Technologies such as Dynamics 365, Power BI and Power Apps, he has consulted over 60 implementations across the globe. Being solution-oriented and implementing advanced scenarios, he has dedicated his time to create training courses for programmers and developers, mainly interested in learning Microsoft Technologies.
As an instructor, he firmly believes in being able to master developmental skills; as long as one achieves the proper training and guidance. Providing students with several enhanced Microsoft training courses focused on providing a hands-on learning experience, Ahmad’s biggest secret to teaching lies in his ability to nurture those who take his classes.
His best reward (in his own words) is “hearing that my students saved time and mastered Microsoft Technology skills, knowing that my courses played a vital part in that success.”
This is a good introduction to Dynamics 365 and X++. The videos are really well explained.
