The Development Basics in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations by Microsoft is a foundational course designed for developers preparing for the MB-500: Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations Apps Developer exam. This course equips aspiring Dynamics 365 developers, functional consultants, and solution architects with core development skills needed to customize and extend enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions.

Through hands-on labs conducted in cloud-hosted development environments provisioned via LCS, learners build custom data models, develop X++ classes, create extended data types and enumerations, design forms, and implement role-based security policies. A culminating project involves developing a fully functional financial reporting module that integrates with Power BI, demonstrating how to optimize form performance and deploy packages using standardized coding patterns within a controlled sandbox environment.
