Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016 is about two month and half here. Currently, you can find a lot of instructions on MSDN and very interesting How Do I videos.

But, you can also find official video courses on DLP and Microsoft IT Academy. Microsoft already published these seven following courses:

Introduction to Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016
Finance Essentials in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016
Finance Advanced in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016
Application Setup in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016
Installation and Configuration in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016
Development Environment Introduction in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016
Data and Code Upgrade in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016

I really recommend to see these courses. And you can expect some new courses soon, as well.

Also, you can expect more exams about NAV made by Association of Dynamics Professionals.

NAV 2016 Universal App System Requirements

In my few articles, I’ve already wrote about Phone Client in NAV 2016 and how to install it on own smartphone with self-signed certificate. Also, I already wrote about NAV 2016 system requirements.

But in all of these articles, I didn’t wrote about system requirements for phone client. And now, it is not phone client; it is an NAV Universal App. It can work on any device you have, but if this device meets requirements.

In short, Universal App can work on devices with Windows 10/8.1, Windows Phone 8.1, iOS 8.4 and Android 4.4.3 with minimum 1 GB RAM (for Windows and Android). Tablets must meet minimum 7″ screen size with minimum 960×510 resolution and Phones must meet minimum 4″ screen size with minimum 854×480 screen resolution.

In my older article about system requirements I said that there are not official data, this is my research. But if you want more about official system requirements, try here on MSDN. I hope, this is a clear.

The fall is always very interesting period in NAV world. This is period when we will get a new NAV release (this year – Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016). In this period, we have the most of the conferences, as well; Directions EMEA, Directions NA, NAV TechDays, NAVUG Summit, Convergence EMEA…

But this year we have additional news. Microsoft has migrated to a new NAV blog platform. New blog platform look really perfect as other Dynamics platforms (MSDN for example). You can go to the blog on https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/nav/. Hope you will share my opinion.

But this is not the end. In few following days, we will get new Mibuso website. Mibuso will have the same web address (I hope), but new suite. You can see home page preview:

You can follow all news about Mibuso and find GoLive date here: https://twitter.com/mibuso_com

Today, Microsoft has published new article about best practices and tips and tricks in upgrading process when you want to upgrade your solution to NAV2013R2 or NAV2015. After this first part about this topic, Microsoft already publish a second part with the same topic.The main reason why to read this article is because, the Classic Client is no longer supported by Microsoft. Now, it is the right time to make upgrade of your old NAV version.

Anyway, you can find awesome articles about this upgrade process here on MSDN Blog and part 2, as well. I recommend these articles.
