Introduction To Dynamics AX

by Murray Fife

If you know what an Action Pane is, or know what is contained within Fast Tabs, then this book is not for you.  You are already too advanced with Dynamics AX.  If you have never seen Dynamics AX before then this book may be what you are looking for.When you are first introduced to Dynamics AX, it may seem a little overwhelming because there is so much that it is able to do. It may seem like you've been dropped in a completely foreign land, unable to speak the language, and not knowing which direction to start walking in.It may be even worse if you are in the middle of a software selection where you are looking at a number of different options (including Dynamics AX) because you need to understand what the differences are, and also remember which feature applies to which application. In that case, you are in multiple foreign lands, and no-one is speaking the same language.You may have picked up a book or two on Dynamics AX to start your self-guided learning, but even then it may be too much because they usually assume that you have had some familiarity with the system, and you still don't have a basic foundation knowledge. Rather than wanting to read Lord of the Rings, you are at more of a See Spot Run level when it comes to Dynamics AX.This is what this book is designed to achieve, and is aimed to give you a high level introduction to Dynamics AX. It is split into two parts as well, the first is an general overview of the system, showing you all of the usability features, and the second part is a functional overview that highlights all of the functional features within Dynamics AX.In essence it teaches you the language of this new land, and also gives you a map of the land so that you can then start heading in the direction that is important to you.Hopefully this will help you quickly get comfortable with Dynamics AX and get you on the right track.

A book planned but never finished

Not really worth the time even if free. It's got a lot of high level platitudes but no detail. I don't think they finished the outline much less the book.
