Before you touch a single table or form, you need to understand what you’re actually working with. This course covers the platform itself — what it is, how environments work, how licensing works, and how to set up a dev environment you can safely break things in.
What the product actually is, how it relates to Dataverse and the Power Platform, and where it fits versus Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations.
Production, sandbox, and trial environments — what each is for, and how to avoid the mistake of building directly in production.
Model-driven app navigation, the Power Platform admin center, and where day-to-day configuration actually happens.
How D365 CE licensing is structured — base licenses, attach licenses, and the Power Apps/Power Automate per-app model.
Getting a free developer environment running, plus the tools (XrmToolBox, Plugin Registration Tool) every D365 CE developer installs on day one.
