New Book: Dynamics NAV 2009: Professional Reporting

DenSter · 2011-10-14

Over the past few months, a new NAV book about reporting has been in the works, and yesterday Packt Publishing sent out an email that it has finally been released. This book is a Must Read for every NAV developer. It covers classic reports, it dives deep into the inner workings of RDLC reports, and it covers a variety of other topics related to reporting. If you do anything with reporting in NAV, you have to get this book

The book is called "Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009: Professional Reporting", written by Steven Renders, and reviewed by Waldo, Matt Traxinger, Alex Chow, and myself. Click here to go to the book's page on the Packtpub website. It is also available on Amazon.com.

It is a really good book and fills in a lot of the gaps where the Microsoft documentation leaves something to be desired. You should definitely give it a read and add it to your library.

Thanks to Packt Publishing, I can give away 4 copies of this new book. Read the announcement: Dynamics NAV book give away.

Just got my copy of the book. And after looking throught it, I have to say... WOW!! This book is way better than what I initially thought.

Not trying to sell you the book, but Steven Renders really did a fantastic job to fill in all the void and questions on ALL aspects of the reporting using the "Microsoft Stack". Better, there are pictures and examples for dumb people like me.

Well done Steven. :thumbsup:

Lost out on the free book again.

Went ahead and did the next best thing and bought the book/pdf bundle from Packt.
Have skimmed it quickly. Looks like it will make a great addition to my NAV library.
All I need is one idea to cost justify a new book, and this book should be worth a lot more than that to me.
Thanks for all the time you put into it.

:thumbsup:

Yes, excellent book.

In this age of video I think you can make more money (or have more response, reach more people, etc. ) if you create some videos from this book.

I'm not sure I can agree with that statement.

Not a lot of people have time (or patience) to sit through a video unless it's for entertainment.

You need some catchy songs.
Maybe you could "rap" your demo?

When they boot one of the rappers off the X Factor, see if you can sign him up.

Howdy, Stranger!
