Course Overview

Development III in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 is a three-day instructor-led course by Microsoft designed for experienced systems consultants and developers working with Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012. This advanced training builds directly on the foundational skills taught in Development I and Development II, focusing on real-world application of X++ programming, MorphX development tools, and the X++ Unit Test Framework to ensure robust, reliable code. Targeted at roles such as Dynamics AX Developer, Technical Consultant, and ERP Systems Analyst, this course equips professionals with the expertise needed to customize and extend AX 2012 solutions. With over 75% of Fortune 500 companies having adopted Microsoft Dynamics ERP solutions during its peak deployment era, mastery of AX 2012 remains valuable for consultants supporting legacy implementations and migration projects.

The course covers key technologies including X++, MorphX, Application Object Tree (AOT), Visual Studio Integration, Workflow Configuration, and the X++ Unit Testing Framework. Students engage in hands-on labs within the Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 development environment, where they build test projects and suites, create workflow types with event handlers, configure approval processes, and integrate external data using queries and computed columns. A core lab scenario involves developing a complete workflow for purchase requisition approval, including form integration, conditional logic, resubmission rules, and server-side execution configuration. Learners also debug managed code using Visual Studio, deploy .NET components, and write code that interacts with X++ objects, simulating real integration tasks performed in enterprise environments.

This course prepares students for the MB6-704: Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3 CU8 Development Introduction certification exam, which validates critical developer competencies recognized across the ERP consulting industry. Certified professionals report average salaries of $110,476 in the United States, with senior roles commanding up to $119,644 annually. Koenig Solutions delivers this training using official Microsoft courseware with Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling and optional 1-on-1 mentoring, ensuring learners gain practical, exam-relevant experience.
