When those solutions are generic enough to be applied in various places of the NAV application, with slight variations on implementation but mainly respecting the same base concepts, we can describe them as NAV design patterns.</p></blockquote><p>A design pattern is a repeatable template of how to solve a common development challenge.</p><h3 id=what-are-development-best-practices>What are Development Best Practices?</h3><p>(more text coming soon)</p><h3 id=history-of-nav-design-patterns>History of &ldquo;NAV Design Patterns&rdquo;</h3><p>In 2013, Microsoft NAV Dev Team and prominent members of the community collaborated on a Community and Microsoft collection of commonly needed / used Design Patterns.</p><p>For some history on this, waldo&rsquo;s posts <a href=https://www.waldo.be/2013/06/14/code-is-poetry/>Code is Poetry</a> and <a href=https://www.waldo.be/2013/08/28/design-is-philosophy-2/>Design is Philosophy</a> are a great read.</p><h4 id=behind-this-project>Behind This Project</h4><p>This project is a Microsoft Business Central Community initiative with support from the Microsoft Business Central team.
