You will need some basic tools, including at least the following:
- A license and database that you can use for development experimentation. The ideal license is a full Developer's license. If your license only contains the Page, Report, and Table Designer capabilities, you will still be able to do many of the exercises, but you will not have access to the inner workings of Pages and Tables and the C/AL code contained therein.
- A copy of the NAV Cronus demo/test database for your development testing and study. It would be ideal if you also had a copy of a production database at hand for examination as well. This book's illustrations are from the W1 Cronus database for V2017.
- The hardware and software requirements for installing and running Microsoft Dynamics NAV can be found at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics-nav/system-requirements-for-microsoft-dynamics-nav.
Access to other NAV manuals, training materials, websites, and experienced associates will obviously be of benefit, but they are not required for the time with this book to be a good investment.
