Quality Assurance for Dynamics AX-Based ERP Solutions: Verifying Dynamics AX customization to the Microsoft IBI Standards Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I give credit to the Author Anil Gupta for writing the book, but the publisher PACKT Publishing is at best, a shody outfit with a collective grasp of English as good as any English as a first language, 4 year old. It is blindingly obvious the review process by PACKT was rudimentary at best.
Amazon also need a good kick up the proverbial as this book is recommended reading for anything related to Dynamics AX 2009, yet this book is written around outdated Dynamics AX 4.0, SQL Server 2005 and a bunch of other technologies no longer sold by Microsoft. If you interested in this book from a Dynamics 2009 perspective, DO NOT ORDER THIS BOOK.
Anil, please update this book for current technologies. It has some excellent concepts. Please dump PACKT and get yourself a publisher which adds at least an iota of value to the thousands of hours you spent writing the book.
