Voor wie is deze cursus?

This course is targeting developers who have none or very limited development skills with the Power Platform and Model-driven apps or Dynamics 365.

Vereisten

Basic understanding of Web development and design. Knowledge of a .NET programming language (Visual Basic .NET or C#) and JavaScript. Working knowledge of Model-driven apps and the Power Platform (power-user perspective)

Although Microsoft Dataverse and Model-driven apps have quite some out of the box customization options, many companies have requirements which can only be met by extending the existing feature set of Microsoft Dataverse. This course is specifically designed to help .NET and JavaScript developers learn the various development features of Microsoft Dataverse and Model-driven apps. And since most Dynamics 365 Apps like Sales, Services, Marketing, … are just model-driven build using Microsoft Dataverse, this training also applies to developers who would like to extend their Dynamics 365 Apps with custom code.

Extensibility Overview

The goal of this module is to provide participants with an overview of the Microsoft Dataverse architecture and where the extension points are as a developer.

  • Introduction to Dataverse
