Date: Thursday, 27 september 2012
Time: 11:30 - 13:00
Level: 300 - Advanced
Speakers: Christian Heide Damm, Jens Møller-Pedersen, Stefan Omdahl

Session description:
With Dynamics NAV 2013 partners will have the opportunity to host Dynamics NAV on Azure. Hosting a service on Azure is different from implementing and supporting an on-premise solution and requires the partner to learn about new authentication methods, monitoring capabilities and administration tools. This session is mainly about the changes we have made to the product to enable the cloud scenario, but it will also cover how we see partners maintaining and updating a hosted NAV solution.

Topics will include:

• First time deployment of your Dynamics NAV solution on Azure
• Setting up authentication using ACS
• Administration and monitoring of the Dynamics NAV Service
• Automating the update of Dynamics NAV clients
• Updating the Dynamics NAV service with platform and application hotfixes

Session description:
The Nav product organization has, during the last 2 years, transitioned from a classic staged development process, into an agile software development methodology, driven by Scrum.

In this session we will take a look at that change, and provide you with our view on what has been the most rewarding, and the most challenging part of the transition.

• What is in a Sprint, and how long is it ?
• How do you stay agile with 20 scrums team ?
• Are you Done yet ?
• Where is my spec ?
• Is your backlog well groomed ?
• Is your WIP too big ?

Date: Thursday, 27 september 2012
Time: 11:30 - 13:00
Level: 300 - Advanced
Speakers: Soumya Dutta, Elly Nkya

Session description:
With volumes of code having been written in C/AL for many end users, it is important to preserve the quality of code by means of regression testing. Running unit tests before check-in is your safeguard that keeps you from breaking existing functionality. Tests coded in C/AL utilize NAV development skills and the “usual” tools (IDE, debugger etc).

By testing smaller portions of code, the unit tests are simple to write and cost-effective way to maintain. The session will provide insights into what makes unit testing different from a scenario test, its constituent components and libraries.

The platform supports the unit testing idea by providing different tools like page testability, code coverage and debugger. Usage of these tools will be covered.

Session description:
When they were first released in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009, Web services were an exciting feature promising a lot and providing tremendous opportunities for partners, customers, and providing tons of fun for enthusiasts. Over the past four years they have grown stronger, more robust and probably more powerful than initially expected, and Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 just keeps adding on top of all that.

This session will take a deep dive into the realm of Web services, and will present a series of not-well or not-at-all documented features, and will provide some tips & tricks that will open new horizons for developers, through topics and examples including:

• Generic Web service consumers,
• Cross-call state management,
• NAV-to-NAV integration,
• Cross-database transactional integrity,
• Smart data caching,
• And much more.

Blocks and Deadlocks are a major issue in NAV/SQL systems; causing decreased performance and poor user experience. This session will explain the locking mechanisms with Dynamics NAV and SQL Server and how they could be properly used. Further it will be demonstrated how blocks & deadlocks could be easily monitored and analyzed to get clues about the problem’s origin and to find appropriate solutions.

Some practical examples will highlight common problems and give inspiration for practicable solutions.

Level: 300 - Advanced
Speakers: Mark Brummel, Eric Wauters, Gary Winter

Session description:
After a year of philosophizing about development best practices for PRS, we have developed very concrete examples that show how certain design patterns can change and simplify your life as a developer. We will show you a few very concrete examples (from real life), talk about the business case and dive into code to explain how and why we would solve this case. We will do this by following patterns like:

• Façade pattern (aka strategy pattern)
• Atomic coding
• Object Oriented thinking
• Leveled programming
• UI separation
• ...

In short: make software instead of solutions. The ideas are based on the experience from three companies who have implemented PRS both in projects as well as in creating new add-ons from scratch.

Session description:
A main theme for NAV2013 was to improve performance significantly. To reach this goal we had to rewrite the data stack completely! Join us in this session to hear about how you can adopt the changes and achieve even better performance. We will go through new extensions to the record API, how/when to use the Query object. We will also talk about two important performance improvements made in the application regarding dimensions and locking in Sales/Purchase posting.
