The Dynamics GP Blogster

Summer is just getting sizzly here in the United States and as a customary tradition, we begin rolling out our grills and dusting off our cookbooks, but this time around, my wife had me ordered two new cookbooks from Mark Bittman , an American food journalist and author of some of the best cookbooks in the market today. Here is my grill and the cookbooks to go with it. Webber One Touch Gold Mark Bittman's How to cook everything series I am among other things an avid cook, so I was trying to find something productive to do while the stakes were on the grill. I had to decide between the usual and traditional ales (while I wait for the food) or, well more cookbooks. I figured I would log into Amazon and see what was hot. Two weeks later my shipment arrived, and I just could not wait to get my hands on it -- just in time for the summer! I could not wait to open the box to get my hands on this new cookbook that would revolutionize my downtime while steaks and veggies were on the grill. ...

You know that I don't often deviate from everything Dynamics GP, but this is got to be the most hilarious stuff I have seen in the last ... who knows how long. Sorry Microsofties, but even you have to admit this is too dagarn funny. Until next post! MG.- Mariano Gomez, MVP Maximum Global Business, LLC http://www.maximumglobalbusiness.com

My buddy Doug Pitcher at Rose Business Solutions has published one of the most hilarious anecdotes I have read in recent months. The subject: the all too famous David Musgrave [ Ed: broken link fixed ] . If you are reading this article and you are asking "Who is David Musgrave?", chances are you got hit by a bus in the last 5 minutes and can't remember anything or you are way too new to the GP community. In any case, if you are not a student or practicioner of the Musgravion Doctrine -- LMAO -- I invite you to get started by visiting Developing for Dynamics GP .

Happy April Fools' Day!! I guess David got away with this one :-)) I cannot begin to express how excited I am to the news that Microsoft Dexterity will now become a standard part of the Microsoft Visual Studio family of development products. The news was published today over at Developing for Dynamics GP blog under strict permissions granted by the Microsoft Dynamics GP Product Management and Marketing team. Since this was just a sneak peak, a lot of questions still remain, for example: Will intellisense capabilities be granted to SanScript functions and statements? I for one appreciate the inline help provided for functions and statements when developing in C# and VB.NET What versions of Visual Studio will be supported? I want to say, Visual Studio 2008, and Visual Studio 2010 are the most likely candidates. Will developers now be able to perform backward compatible developments under Visual Studio? This is, will there be a need to continue using the old Dexterity interface f...

It's not often that I publish some humor on the blog, but I thought this would be a good one. I have been working on a few projects at my current Dynamics GP customer for the last 8 months now and walked up to one of the buyers in the Purchasing department to ask an EDI related question, with my eyes wondering around his cubicle walls, and came across this hilarious picture with the following caption. I guess after all, this is how some users feel despite our upbeat efforts to help them day in and day out. Until next post!
