I am looking for good books to buy and read:
suggesting good books Is much appreciated, I was reviewing books on amazon, and the comments and reviews were bad on some books that cover what I need, and the good reviews of books do not cover what I need in the book content.
1-cookbook for
2-how to use
- Dynamics 365 for Finance & Operations user (accountant) use.
- Dynamics 365 for Finance & Operations user (adminstrator) use.
-
I don’t know what User group is that, no one is answering the question for just simply suggesting a book.
I am not asking a tough question, I don’t need the fish, need to teach me how to catch it.
that is frustrating.
Here should be experts with a ton of books to recommend.
and I only get likes -.- .
If you looked at Amazon, you’re probably already aware of the books available. You may want to ask about the specific books you’re considering. Neverheless you’re looking for many unrelated things (accounting, X++ development, T-SQL development, SSRS), therefore you’ll also need several different books. Also, don’t forget the official documentation.
As you’re asking in the developer forum, let’s ignore accounting here - you can ask for books about it in the user forum.
Regarding SSRS and RDP, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Reporting Cookbook is a very good book, in my opinion. It’s for AX 2012, therefore it doesn’t cover extensions, but you can still learn a lot from it.
I don’t think you should be looking for a book about “Executing a direct SQL statement in x++”. First of all, avoid it if you can. You can ask in this forum if there is something you’re unable to implement in any other way; we may be able to help you. Writing direct T-SQL statements is quite difficult (in my experience, people do it wrong in most cases) and Microsoft claimed that they’re going to make it impossible in future. But if you decide to do it, you can find blog posts on this topic, therefore you don’t need any book.
I don’t know which book works the best as an introduction of F&O development. Maybe somebody else will answer that. But if you’re new to programming, don’t expect AX/F&O book to explain things like object-oriented design. They typically tell you how to use X++ and the development environment, but you need more to become a real programmer.
thank you martin.
I have been in business in programming since 2013, doing my first project converting C# to .net.
I come from an ASP.NET/C# community, no previous experience in AX, and I directly started to handle a project of D365FO so I find it hard to catch up.
no need for an OOP explanation, but since you brought it up I think it is needed for us to be able to see more resources or tutorials of the methods and predefined functions.
like before we used to write our own functions, classes, and control the pages/apps as we see best, but in X++ you need to create a contract class, extend it with a UIBuilder, control its behavior with a controller class, then fitch data with DP class and do design a report.
that is only for just RDP reports.
I favor making more rules and controls on the code and development, make us haveing fewer errors, and concentrate on logic rather than the code. but once you make it more controlled, you need to clearly explain why it happened and how it works, so we can write a clean code.
it is interesting to read your replies in that community, thank you for teaching us how to code, but not the code itself.
have a nice day.
