Are you prepared to be a developer in Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations? Are you aware of the major changes that have taken place within the product? A lot has changed in the world of Dynamics AX development and if you haven't started preparing, you should.

For a little more background, I put together a blog post that outlines the top 5 things Dynamics AX developers should prepare for in Dynamics 365 for Operations.

Here are the top 5 areas I recommend digging into:

1. Visual Studio

3. Extensions
4. Form Patterns

Even if you are familiar with the changes taking place you might be interested in further instruction to help set you up for success in your role.
