2. Coding philosophy
- Minimizing the footprint of changes (I know how painful is when merging code from different partners or upgrade or installing hot-fix).
- Where to make the change (always at the highest level and in this order: class, table, form data source field/method, form control).
- Using field groups (The reason this reduces footprint).
- Upgrades and system maintainability.
- Design for a service-oriented architecture.
- Design for code reuse.
- Apply Dynamics 365 design patterns and coding best practices.
