Great article on what I now know is the Reference Panel. And can now remove the stuff I don't need.
Just finding its name was a chore. Now realise its yet another 'you can only edit in Classic mode' component. 😭
Thanks so much to Dian @D365Goddess

Back in old Dynamics CRM days, "track in CRM" experience inside Outlook was the key selling point of Microsoft over Salesforce. It's a different world today, and Viva Sales seems to promise similar integration - whether you use #MSDyn365 or #SFDC. microsoft.com/en-us/microsof…
Found bug in Power Platform using a custom publisher. Beware creating web resources directly from shortcut in form builder - it defaults to generic MS prefix on web resource, not your custom one. Add via all objects area and it's fine.
Kudos to @crmanswers for his DataVerse REST Tool within the CRM Toolbox. Panicked when I couldn't find @JLattimer version - 404 on github, but this new tool worked a treat. Thanks Guido 😀

Foray into PCF development for @MSPowerApps today, with the default slider control, the example worked in debug first time 😲but making VS Code work with Node.js, MSBuild etc was painful... got there, just not brave enough to deploy solution without a clear head. 😉
So much in Power Platform Model Drive @mspowerplat apps is old school Dynamics CRM, but so much has changed.
Tabs are back in forms 😎haven't seen them for over a decade and UI is cleaner, but still full of many quirks that go back to CRM 3 😉
Getting my head around namespaces, file naming conventions and best practice in relation to @MSPowerPlat - it's been tricky but got a great insight form this article and made it work.

#Windows11 installed the insider preview this morning - without incident 🙂
Not sure about start - had it gone full apple with start button in centre with enlarged icon it would make sense - just centralizing the menu doesn't really work.
Thankfully easy to switch back 😉
Just booked my place on Microsoft Business Applications Summit #MSBizAppsSummit

For #Dataverse coding, I'm using some extension methods to ease the writing. I thought it was a good idea to share these little code snippets. I created a Github organization so that I can share how they code. Do not hesitate to join and contribute ow.ly/172i50EADyx
Dynamics Team licences will affect design choices. Many developers use Lookup as alternative to Option Sets. Advantage is users can maintain the data served as a list themselves reducing dev work. Unfortunately, each lookup to a custom entity uses one of your 15 entity allocation
Great series of articles by @jukkan on D365 licencing. Wonder how many businesses retreat from platform due to fear of escalating cost, complexity, and pace of change. Licencing needs simplification as lines between Microsoft 365 and Dynamics blur

Giving C# a rest - will revisit things after a week off, particularly OOP, LINQ and Lambdas so they really sink in.
Started on Fundamentals of Microsoft Dynamics on @MicrosoftLearn - great intro to current terminology relating to all things cloud. 🙂

@MSDynCRMOnline has changed massively since it was first delivered. Looking at current platform with significant hindsight (V1.2) shows how it has built steadily but incrementally on its foundations. The pace of development and the sheer scale of the platform is extraordinary.
If you use .NET 5 to complete exercises in @HeadFirstCSharp all works well - but make sure when you hit page 501 - Unit tests, that you add Unit Test Project, not Unit Test Project (.NET Framework) as the available target frameworks are old and break things. 😉
Occasionally Twitter surfaces a real gem. This will help enormously during my refresh learning project.
grep.app has earned a coveted spot on my bookmarks bar.
It might not have all the source code on GitHub indexed but, gosh, it's fast and gets the job done.
If you're planning to work on Microsoft's @dynamics365 stack. @ParkhurstNeil has made an incredible treasure trove of learning and revision resources available. Latest journey is MB-230 but take time to review rest of site. neilparkhurst.com/2021/04/07…
Well its not 😒 Many of us are still waiting. Understocked is the new norm, which unfortunately prevents many newcomers and fans accessing the product. - tired of trying.

Incredible free resource from @Microsoft and @packtpub dropped into my inbox this morning.
For anyone who don't know Packt they have a great library of training resources including many free ones.
