After finishing his education as a software developer in 2011, Patrick worked for a small company. There he was able to work on the further development of a 50 year old software for real estate management. He gained a broad knowledge of programming languages (Cobol, VB6, Delphi, C#) and practices.

After that, he moves to the Business Central area in 2017. He uses the prior knowledge to think "out of the box" in Business Central.

Nothing is impossible in BC - ways to handle legacy interfaces in Business Central

There are still so many Upgrades from NAV to Business Central ongoing and I'm still seeing people struggling with old interfaces. In many projects it is not possible to update all other legacy systems beside Business Central to modern software.

Since we have the "Universal Code Initiative" there are more and more update things which are not possible directly in BC.
Some Examples:
- File Access
- Local Hardware Access
- SQL Access
- (and many more)

But there is always an easy way to handle such problems. In my demo I will show you some ways to handle

Testautomation for connected systems

Over the last couple of years Business Central got more and more dependencies to other systems.

Create your AL solutions the right way: With Design Patterns and Architecture Best Practices in mind

Design Patterns, Architecture Best Practices, Clean Code. Does this sound like bullshit bingo to you? In this session, we will explain why it shouldn't. We will explain why those things matter, from a technical as well as from a business perspective. If you are already convinced, maybe it also helps to convince your colleagues or managers. Then we will go into a couple of design patterns, where they can be applied and how they can be implemented in AL. Then we talk about architectural best practices and show examples how they can be implemented. After this session, you should have food for thought as well as specific ideas how to improve your Business Central development practice.

Object Oriented Design approaches in Business Central

Learn how to develop more flexible Business Central apps with the help of object oriented design patterns.
