Dear Friends,

·        Thanks to Packt Publishing team for forwarding me this book for review.

If you are a Dynamics AX developer, new or experienced who wants to implement services with Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012, then this book is for you. This book is a tutorial guide that covers each topic in depth with examples. The step-by-step approach will help you better understand each task as you will have to perform them frequently when utilizing the services. A basic understanding of MorphX and X++ is assumed, but the step-by-step instructions are easy to follow even for beginners. Some examples use C# and .NET, if you have an experience with Visual Studio it would be great buts it is not must.

        In every implementation we should integrate Ax2012 with other applications will always  be necessary within any organization and “Services” was the best option for achieving this. With AX2012 its became more flexible than earlier versions of AX while integration. This book will help you to know more like when and where we have to use the services. This book will help you to understand the service architecture, deployment, Creating custom services and take you through document services. We can learn to how to use OData Query Service, load balancing, clustering, NLB for services..etc. we can learn how to trace and debug the Services also.

      

      I recommend this book for mastering in the services for AX2012.

      you can order this book on Amazon, Goodreads, O'Reilly, Barnes&Noble, Google Books
