You may have very little or no knowledge about NAV patterns, but you should be acquainted with programming.
What You Will LearnApply object-oriented practices to C/AL programmingStructure your application to avoid merge conflictsRefactor legacy code and avoid anti-patternsDesign decision trees to decide when to use which patternsClone codes and their application in Dynamics NAVMake your application extensible by creating predefined hooks and facadesIn DetailMicrosoft Dynamics NAV is a complete ERP system, which also contains a robust set of development tools to support customization and enhancement.

Then, it walks you through the details of architectural patterns, design patterns, and implementation patterns. This book will also talk about anti-patterns and handling legacy code. Finally, it teaches you to build solutions using patterns.
Proven patterns and best practices will help you create better solutions that are easy to maintain in larger teams across several locations. It will guide you through combining abstract patterns using easy-to-understand examples and will help you decide which patterns to use in which scenarios.
