About Minimize

This website is maintained by David Cox a freelance Dynamics NAV Contractor, the tutorials are to help other developers understand some of the  functions that already exist in Microsoft Dynamics NAV, and how to use them, many times I have looked at the code written by other Developers, and often seen code that has replicated a function that already exists, or is limited in the design and will just not work going forward. 

 

Having developed the Dynamics NAV product for many years now, I have focused on the core functions and used the code to create many new modules that fit into the Dynamics NAV workflow, having built many new modules which then use the standard Dynamics NAV functions to post to the ledgers this has maintained the look and feel of the product, giving the user the comfort of not knowing where the standard and new modules interact, so for them it is all one product.

Skill Strengths

I have been working in the reseller channel on Microsoft Dynamics NAV, Attain and Navision for over 13 years as a senior analyst developer on all versions of the product, my skill set and depth of knowledge is extremely strong in functional analysis, solution architecture and writing of complicated code routines, creating friendly user interfaces and solid code for financial data posting right to the ledger level.
 
My roles have encompassed retail, distribution, project and resource management, programming, analysis, development & support, adapting Dynamics NAV to the customer’s specific requirements using the Dynamics NAV language (C/Side).
I have developed complete end to end modules for Time, Property & Service management that have been integrated fully and seamlessly with the other core modules, including the Customer, Vendor, Item and General Ledgers, having also worked with the K3 Retail Back Office, loyalty and Analysis.
 
This has meant the development of complete modules, new tables, forms, reports, dataports & functional code, also interfaces to external systems including SAP, NeuSience, Team, EDI, BACS etc: 
 
My core skills are in the rapid development and depth of knowledge of Dynamics NAV producing functional consistent interfaces; I also have abilities to take a project through its full cycle, to trouble shoot a small piece of code, discuss functionality and train an end user or pass on knowledge to another developer.
 
I worked for K3 the largest UK reseller for a three year period, as a senior analyst / developer; while there I worked on several large projects in the UK, and in the Middle East, including helping to develop the loyalty system and retail analysis models.
 
My last two contracts were both extended well beyond the initial contract periods turning eight months work into thirty seven months in total.

PERSONAL PROFILE
Having a sound background from an engineering apprenticeship, this has left me with a good understanding of technical and practical methods of work.
Moved into the construction industry, rising to the position of Contract's Administrator with excellent interpersonal and communication skills at all levels and which experience also required me to develop a good understanding of the changes within the industry. I have always been able to work independently using my own initiative to make practical decisions, and I also enjoy working as part of a team and I am used to being under pressure and working to a tight schedule.
Having been involved with IT for several years both as an end user and as a programmer, in the office and at home, using a variety of both DOS and Windows databases, word processors, spreadsheets & project software.
This had the requirement to customize commercial packages to enable clear and concise data storage and retrieval, working for the last 13 years in the Dynamics NAV channel, both as a contractor and employee, in roles from senior consultant to support analyst.
