I am very excited to announce that my workshop on Dynamics CRM plugin development is now ready. The goal of the class is for me to teach you everything I know about plugin development and we'll have just two days to do it.
When:
Wednesday August 14th and Thursday August 15th
Where:
Online
What:
This is a hands-on workshop with each student provided their own virtual development environment for the duration of the class
Cost:
$895 per person (multi-student discounts available)
Note: Due to the interactive nature of this workshop, it will be limited to 10 students.
Agenda:
Day 1:
Wednesday is the bulk of our classroom work and we will cover the following topics:
- Plugin architecture and design
- The Dynamics CRM execution pipeline
- The how, why, and where of plugging into Dynamics CRM
- Performance considerations
- Working in the sandbox
- The development environment
- Setup
- Source control
- Working in teams
- Deploying plugins
- To CRM
- In a solution
- To CRM Online (if applicable to the student population)
- Debugging plugins
- Synchronous vs. asynchronous
- Full-trust vs. sandboxed
Day 2:
On Thursday we will be jumping into the development of custom workflow activities and other topics and will cover:
- Custom activity architecture
- Design features
- Deployment
- Asynchronous process monitoring
- System job cleanup and maintenance
- Open-lab time
- Upgrade scenarios
- Code-recovery of lost source plugin code
Thanks to our virtual development environments, the majority of our time will be spent actually designing and developing real-world plugins. Think labs. Lots and lots of labs.
Students will also be asked to bring one project with them that they would like to create while additional resources are available to them. This is strictly optional, but it is available.
In addition to the workshop materials, each student will receive additional tools and code templates to help increase their productivity as a Dynamics CRM plugin developer.
Finally, all students are free to keep any work produced during their lab-time as well as the tools and templates used in class.
