🚀 About This D365 Development Series
──────────────────────────

This series goes beyond basic tutorials to show you how real-world Dynamics 365 (D365FO) projects are built from start to finish. We'll build a complete, end-to-end "Automated Customer Tiering System" for a fictional client, Bluestone Industrial Components (BIC).

You'll see every step of a production-ready solution, from setup to deployment, covering:
➤ Core X++ Development: Extending tables and forms (CustTable), creating Enums, and implementing custom business logic using Chain of Command (CoC).
➤ Automation: Building robust, automated batch jobs with the SysOperation Framework.
➤ APIs & Integration: Creating Data Entities to build secure OData REST APIs and for Data Management Framework (DMF) exports.
➤ Event-Driven Architecture: Firing real-time alerts from D365 to Azure Logic Apps using Business Events.
➤ Business Intelligence: Connecting D365 to Power BI to build an interactive sales dashboard.
➤ DevOps & ALM: Setting up a complete CI/CD pipeline in Azure DevOps, managing source control (TFVC), and automating builds.
