Live Blog

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.

One of the most common questions I get asked about Control Add-ins is whether you can make a control add-in be always present and able to respond to your calls from AL. In other words: can you have a resident control add-in that you can invoke from anywhere in your AL code. I’ve done a lot about control add-ins.

Happy New Year everyone, with a little delay. I was busy in the first two weeks of this year preparing and delivering the “Leveraging Git” webinar. It turned out to be quite a success, but it also prevented me from doing my live session last Friday. But this short break doesn’t mean I am not going to get busy with my blog and live blog again.

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 had my fifth live stream. The topic was interfaces , and this time I took a different angle at it: patterns. When I polled about live stream topics you’d like to hear about, most of you said “patterns”. So today’s stream covers several patterns and puts them in perspective of interfaces, or the opposite way around, however you like it.

After a lot of fun with interfaces on Friday, I’ve received a lot of very encouraging feedback. It seems that the decision to start live video blogging was right, and I am sticking with it. I’ve realized that on Friday I didn’t announce any schedule for the period ahead, so here’s what we are going to do in coming Fridays.

Thanks to everyone who watched my live stream today! The audience wasn’t big, but it’s a very narrow topic, not of broad interest. Still, I am glad I got a few interesting questions that actually introduced my future topics quite nicely. You can find the recording here: As promised, I have published the GetImageResource.js file on my GitHub.

Thanks to everyone who attended my live blog yesterday, and to everyone who subscribed. It was so encouraging to see that you like this idea. As announced yesterday, my live blog will run on a fixed schedule – every Friday, at 14:00 CET (8:00 AM EST) I’ll get online to present a topic and discuss it live with you.

It’s time to turn a new page. You’ve noticed that I’ve been absent for a long time. No posts, no activity. Well, blogging takes time, and I am a sort of a perfectionist. Writing posts sometimes takes hours, there have been posts that took me days. Let me not mention how many articles sit unfinished.
