Buch ist gut aufgebaut, verständlich und hilfreich. Einen Punkt Abzug weil es m.E. sehr teuer ist.

It's clear that there's a lot of expert knowledge that went into this book. Unfortunately, it seems that they spent so much money on their AL experts that they didn't have any left over for writers or editors.There is little structure to the book. We learn about Table Triggers hundreds of pages before we learn what we can do with them, or why we might want to do anything with them. There's no discussion of the actual structure of the AL language; instead, we end up retyping page after page of abstruse code without actually understanding any of it.Practical lessons are interspersed with long sections describing features. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be much in the way of a connection between the two. Page after page of rote copying of code is followed by an academic discussion of different uses of tables, with very little reference to the tables we were just creating. The explanation of *why* we were creating the tables and fields in question gets lost in the shuffle.And that's not counting the blatant errors in the book. Screen shots show the wrong thing. Table names change part way through without warning. Common problems, like being unable to download the symbols, are not mentioned. You're told to use features that simply don't exist in the program you're using; it takes extensive research to discover that they're actually talking about using a feature of a completely *different* application, and didn't bother to mention it.In Chapter 3, for example, we've been doing the standard rote retyping of flowfield properties into Visual Studio Code, when the book describes an error message that does not appear in VSCode. We're told to press F11 to compile; in VSCode, F11 switches to full screen mode. It was only reading another review of the book that I discovered this is a feature of a completely different application, C/SIDE.It seems that this book is the only one on the market, and to be fair it *does* have a lot of useful information in it. But go in prepared for a slog.

Book jumps from Visual Studio Code into C/side without warning (e.g. page 153). The real world use case that is used references asks you to create tables using specific table numbers and these numbers then change later in the book. Looks like the book has been hastily rehashed from the earlier Dynamics NAV version with insufficient proof reading.
