C/SIDE Classes 

One of the most difficult issues partners and clients face when building a team to work in C/SIDE customizing or implementing Microsoft Dynamics NAV is how to bring new developers "up to speed" in C/SIDE, perhaps without much outside assistance. While not taking the place of a senior staff locally available, these classes not only have great introductory material, but they also offer a senior NAV developer as the instructor. Mike  has worked with new NAV developers for over 15 years and adds considerable value to the students time in class.

One Week Intensive Development Class

Designed for end user development teams this class covers selected topics from the two week Microsoft Dev courses. It is designed to allow companies with development licenses to take over some or all modifications to NAV. This training is not available anywhere else, and can be customized to suit your needs. It can be taught at your offices, or at our beautiful conference center in Atlanta. Cost per student is $1950, three or more students from the same company is $1650 per student.

C/SIDE Introduction

This intensely hands on class is designed to allow the student to see and work with the whole development environment. Through a series of demonstrations and labs the student will work with Forms, Pages, Tables, Codeunits, Reports, Dataports, XMLPorts and the CAL programming language. While this course is patterned after the Microsoft course, and some of their material will be used, there will be lots of extra material. The extra material has been developed and tested through many years and proven to be effective in helping students get comfortable with the new system. Students who take this class usually pass the Microsoft exam for certification first time out.

C/SIDE Development

While the first course is designed to teach the student the way around the development system, this course is designed to teach how to successfully add functionality to and modify base functionality in NAV. Through real world projects and various demonstrations, the student will see how data flows through NAV and how to modify it. Also covered will be Web Services, SQL server for NAV and the new report writing tools for Visual Studio. This class is more closely patterned after the Microsoft class and, since the instructor wrote the current Certification Exam, students usually pass it after taking the class.

Both these four-day classes are programming intensive. In both classes there will be a heavy emphasis on programming standards.

Audience Profile

These courses are intended for developers with at least 2 years experience programming business applications with an Object Oriented programming language. Partners and Clients with at least the Application Designer license are welcome, both will benefit from learning to use this tool.
