AL programming for beginners

MonikaRB

Hello,

I have just started my new position as a BC developer trainee.
I have done Business Central Biistwe by Plantaan course but bedside that I have a little experience with programming plus I don't have a background in developing in any other language and I can notice that I really need to find some way to get the basis of AL programming trained a bit better in my free time.
Could any of you recommend me good sources where I could get good explanation and small exercises that would help me with refreshing my programming knowledge?
I would appreciate any tips,
Thanks

Hi,
It may not be relevant now, but later on I would really recommend Erik Hougaard. He is an expert and has a very good and funny way of describing things in BC. He has a lot of YouTube videos.

Best of luck,

This book is from 2019, so you won't find the latest enhancements in it, but it's still a good introduction:

Apart from the online course, there is also comprehensive documentation available.
