Introduction
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is a cloud-based solution, so it doesn't allow you to change the source code of the base application. For that reason, Microsoft allows developers to add and extend existing code by creating extensions.
This module discusses Microsoft Visual Studio Code, the new development environment for Dynamics 365 Business Central.
Application language (AL) is the programming language that is used for manipulating data (such as retrieving, inserting, and modifying records) in a Business Central database. Additionally, AL is used for controlling the implementation of the various application objects such as pages, reports, or codeunits.
In this module, you will learn how to:
Set up and configure Visual Studio Code to develop AL extensions.
Identify basic objects and the logical database.
Work with multiple AL extensions in one Visual Studio Code workspace.
Build your first AL extension by using Visual Studio Code.
