Every Business Central partner faces many of the same development challenges: coding standards, project structure, testing, documentation, reusable patterns and, increasingly, how AI should generate AL code.
Yet we often solve these problems independently, inside individual companies and projects.

What if we stopped reinventing the same solutions?

In this session, Javier Armesto and Fernando Artigas explore how open-source collaboration can create a shared engineering foundation for the Business Central ecosystem.

Using real examples from AL Development Collection and AL Copilot Skills Collection, we will show two complementary approaches: reusable development patterns and tools for AL, and reusable knowledge and instructions that guide AI-assisted development.

We will connect both approaches in a practical development workflow and discuss what happens when patterns, best practices and AI instructions evolve together instead of living in isolated repositories and company guidelines.

This session is not about two projects. It is about a bigger idea: how sharing the way we build software can help the entire Business Central community build better solutions.
