You’re very welcomed. You’re joining the community at the right time. 30 years ago, when I started, everything regarding was Navision only. I had to learn everything from the bottom. Today Business Central uses most of the same standards as everywhere else in the industry, like VSCode for development and Powershell for configuration.
When I started the only thing I could really re-use from when I learned about development in college was the Pascal syntax used as the basic for the application language AL back then, and of course the AL Language for BC today.
I think you’re going to see a lot more people like me coming here. community.dynamics.com has been giving canned responses to any sort of development questions and referring them here.
Heya [mention:41070ff665ff4373b482535f7550659b:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05]!
After taking a couple of days to recover from a 30-day writing sprint, finally have a few brain cells rebuilt to come chat.
Hi everyone!
My name is Jeremy Vyska. I’ve been working with Business Central since it was Navision Financials (much like Steve, scary 2x version when it was multiple systems).
I started in IT way back when, and cross-trained into Navision development, learning at Navision’s NA HQ (Atlanta) back when it was a 2 week class with an 8-hour practical exam.
I’ve bounced from partner to partner based on what interesting projects were on the table, getting skilled up into the application, consulting, training, support – pretty everything really. I’ve been an MCT, trained people into BC (consulting and developing) and IT, plus worked as a professional “fixer” for projects that had gone off the rails.
This year, I’ve spun up a new little company working on offering community-supportive services and products, such as:
Books, both free and paid
Training courses (soon on Skill-Up I hope!)
Custom training contracts for development and applications
Creating tools and events for the community
I’m pretty excited and looking forward to being positioned soon to talk a lot more about what’s coming! [emoticon:6d505171faa4497c85c5ca27290c555d]
good to see you back. i just got my copy of your book in the email and i can’t wait to get some time to read it [emoticon:c4563cd7d5574777a71c318021cbbcc8]
I’m still around, notifications don’t seem to work so I only saw this now.
I started working for PC&C (the company that wrote Navision) rolling out Navision translation, localization, partner training and support in seven countries. Although the first version I started with was DOS ver 2, my first implementation was 3.04 on OS/2. Erik beat me by a few months. Since then I have implemented Navision in 41 countries. My focus has been helping clients to Go Live with Navision and helping recover disasters where for what ever reason a partner could not bring a client live.
I’m Jeff Wall, work for Sharperlight, we use Business Central internally after recently migrating from AX.
We have loved using BC and even more using our connector for Business Central which enables read and write capabilities, single site multi tenancy consolidation and more…
I have to jump in, because Steve Chinsky did! I’m Kim, I started working on version 1.0 of NAV…25 years ago in January. Back in the day, you did everything, development, implementation, project management, training, support…so much fun, so little time!
I’m a Texas kid all my life, grew up in a small town riding horses. Now I have grandkids, 7 of them!
Also jumping in since my two good friends Steve and Kim are here. I’m Dave and have been working with NAV/BC for about 15 years on both the user and partner side (currently partner). Started with NAV at Tillamook Cheese in Oregon (best cheese and ice cream in the world). Soon became the NAV guru for the organization. Frequent speaker at events for the other guys (NAVUG), but spending more time here. Looking forward to spending more time here.
