With C/SIDE and by using the C/AL language, you can create new objects such as Tables, Pages, Codeunits and so on and you can edit standard objects (made by Microsoft) and modify them as to your needs.

Es gibt ja immer wieder Bücher die sich rühmen einen schnellen Einstieg in dies oder das Thema zu geben. Teilweise verlieren sie sich in Allgemeinheiten oder lassen bei einer Schritt für Schritt Anleitung einen oder zwei wichtige Punkte aus, was dann zum Haare raufen führt. Nicht so hier. Man merkt, dass die Autoren wirklich vom Fach kommen und ihre Erfahrung weitergeben wollen, ohne dabei aus den Augen zu verlieren, was wirklich wichtig zu wissen ist für Anfänger.Ein sehr wertvolles Buch, das genau hält, was es verspricht und einen gleichzeitig noch teilhaben lässt am Expertenwissen der Autoren.Auf diesem Weg: danke!Grazie mille

I've used it as a introduction to changes between older NAV/CAL and new BC/AL. It's a good starting point for this, helpful and easy to follow.
