Agenda:
The majority of our time will be spent actually developing JavaScript solutions for Dynamics CRM. Think labs. Lots and lots of labs. And homework. There will be homework. We’ll cover the following topics:
Setting up your JavaScript development environment
The first thing we need to do is to get everything installed and configured that will make us succeed as a Dynamics CRM Developer. We’ll discuss the free and commercial tools and services available, JavaScript libraries that will increase your developer productivity, and other development best practices when working individually or in a team environment.
Introduction to the Dynamics CRM JavaScript Object Model
The Xrm.Page object model that we use for Dynamics CRM JavaScript development is quite comprehensive. We’ll discuss the major components and objects, and the following major topic areas:
- Working with Collections
- Data operations
- Tabs and Sections
- Working with Controls
- Working with iFrames
- Working with Navigation Items
Working with JavaScript Libraries and Forms
JavaScript that we use within Dynamics CRM is stored in web resources. We’ll discuss this model, connecting to the data entry form, and wiring up the event model.
Data Operations and the new Web API
Creating, reading, updating , and deleting Dynamics CRM data is a very common occurrence. We’ll discuss the major JavaScript libraries available to aid your development efforts as well as cover the tools and techniques required to work with the new Dynamics CRM 2016 Web API to perform database and platform operations.
Working with the Ribbon
There are several Ribbon-related interfaces available to us as JavaScript developers and we’ll work with some of them so that you can see where they can be useful which may help add additional functionality to your projects.
Utility Methods
We have some fairly useful utility methods used for opening Dynamics CRM Forms and Web Resources via JavaScript. There are several tricks and tips that I’ve learned that we’ll be discussing and working with. So that about covers everything. As mentioned, we’ll have tons of labs, samples, libraries, etc. so it just be a pretty packed couple of days.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Thanks, Mitch
