It's finally published! I want to recommend a book that I recently got to help edit. It's called "CRM as a Rapid Development Platform" and is authored by David Yack.
David put a lot into this book and it really is great at explaining and giving how to's on some of the more advanced topics of CRM. It not only covers the CRM platform fairly well but also covers writing of Plug-ins and Workflow for the extention of CRM.
One of my personal favorites of the this book is the code samples that you have access to when you buy it. They include some pretty robust libraries that can be used to jump start your development. There is a javascript library that helps make calls back to the CRM web services much easier from the CRM page scripts as well as several other things you would commonly do in the page scripts. There are also .Net libraries to help with the development of Plug-ins and Workflows and to allow testing of them outside of the CRM environment. There is even a section of code that shows how to write silverlight pages that can be used in CRM as well. And that is only some of what you will find in the code.
Now for the good part, since I helped with the editting of this book, I was given discount codes to share for buying it. You can get it in print or ebook form and the discount code will save you $10 off the price. I was told that the codes are only good for the first 20 buyers. The site for buying the book is http://thecrmbook.com/.
The Print copy discount code is CATHYBLOG.
The Ebook discount code is CATHYBLOGEBOOK.
I would love to hear the opinion of anyone that buys the book. Happy reading :)
