Interfaces

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2021 Release Wave 1 is out (whoa, that was a mouthful) with some new perks for developers . Today, I had another live session at http://vjeko.live , and I made it both the first one in the series of What’s New for the latest release, as well as the episode four of Fun with Interfaces.

My last topic was resident control add-ins . In my video and written blog I’ve explained what they are and how you can quickly have them up and running. However, there was one particular thing I said I generally don’t like – single-instance codeunits.

When invoking any REST web services, a lot of AL code mostly looks like this: procedure CallRESTFoo() var Client: HttpClient; Response: HttpResponseMessage; Body: Text; Json: JsonObject; begin Client.Get('https://foo.bar/', Response); Response.Content.ReadAs(Body); Json.ReadFrom(Body); // Process JSON body of the response...

Oh how much fun we had today on my live stream, it’s just amazing. First, all the viewers had fun of waiting for me to go live for nearly an hour, and then at some point I managed to unplug my reflector. Perks of live streaming 😁 First of all, I would like to – once again – apologize to everyone who waited for me to go live.

Today I’ve streamed the Fun with Interfaces video blog at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSMHL32c5mg and the recording is now published online. This was the first session I ever delivered about interfaces, and I actually planned delivering this a lot earlier (I made a suggestion to run this at Directions ASIA before corona crisis hit), but never had a chance.

You know about PRS (Partner Ready Software) , don’t you? It’s the initiative started by Mark Brummel , Eric Wauters (Waldo) , and Gary Winter (not necessarily in this order), and then they decided to expand their team by one more member. I am not quite sure if this was a good move, but the time will tell.
