Checkout this picture taken by Kauffmann in Directions US.
I will talk about this picture later. First things first.. So, I was scrolling through my twitter feed, seeing updates from people and companies about NAV Directions. And the picture below dropped my jaw. LITERALLY!
No, It is not about NAV 2017 or Dynamics 365. I am looking forward to these too but it is the 3rd thing mentioned in this picture, new development environment, which got me so excited, thrilled, delighted and what not!! Thank you Microsoft for exciting us every time we try to settle. Thank you, seriously!
Below is the stuff that Waldo and Kauffmann have shared in their blogs. Thank you both for sharing the knowledge with us.
Grateful because i am expecting that there will be so much to learn soon enough. Well, Let's see. Christmas will be so merry this time if we get what we all are expecting by that time.

So, as you all must have already got to know that in NAV 2017,
we will be working with a new tool known as VS Code editor. The VS Code editor
will become the preferred way of doing modifications in the future. Eventually,
it will enable us to do any kind of modification that we can do today.
Another picture taken by Kauffmann in
Directions US. These pictures are interesting!!

immensely improved in NAV 2017. All object types are available now ..

There is a lot to deep dive into, check the full posts here

The “New developer Experience“ is not going to be released
in the upcoming release. It’s only going to be there in preview at Christmas.
There must be a lot of questions arising, I know, check these posts to get all
