From Idea to Release: Process of Contributing to Business Central
Business Central has been open-sourced on GitHub, allowing anyone to view the code and suggest changes. Discover how quick and impactful contributions to Business Central can be.
In this session, I will share my experiences contributing to both the System Application and Base Application of Business Central. I'll provide tips for consultants and developers on how to pitch new BC Ideas, and guide developers through the process of making contributions. During this journey, I've received significant recognition from Microsoft, and you can achieve the same.
We will begin by exploring how new functionality is implemented in Business Central and how you can contribute by suggesting BC Ideas or realizing them.
Next, we'll cover how to request access to the Business Central Apps repository and utilize it for contributions without necessarily pitching new ideas.
Finally, we will delve into the implementation part of contributing to Business Central. I will share real case scenarios, one for a System Application and one for a Base Application, demonstrating how to create a new developer environment, forking the Microsoft repository, creating the branch, and submitting a Pull Request for Microsoft to review. Also, what happens after you create a Pull Request?
Join my session to learn how you can contribute to Business Central and make a significant impact.
