David assisted in script writing for a series of audio training courses for early PC operating systems and wrote for a newsletter Computers in Education. A series of articles by David for several trade and professional magazines were published concerning the use of computer systems to track and help manage manufacturing shop-floor operations.

This review is from: Programming Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 (Paperback)

This book is a fantastic reference for the NAV implementors who are not developers! I have used this book as a reference for small modifications, and also to create new roles in the RTC. I highly recommend this book for developers and the non-technical type!
