Agentic Coding for AL¶
Welcome.
You showed up because something has changed in how software gets built — and you can feel it. AI agents are writing real code now. Not autocomplete. Not snippets. Whole features, in minutes.
Some developers are riding that wave. Their output has multiplied. Their architecture has stayed clean. They ship faster than ever, with their name on every commit (or their agent's name 😊).
Others are watching their codebases turn into a mess of half-understood AI suggestions. Working code one day, unmaintainable the next. They feel slower, not faster.
The difference isn't the tool. It's the workflow.
Today¶
Today you learn that workflow.
You will build a real Business Central extension for a real customer — a car rental company — using an AI agent. Not a toy demo. A genuine multi-feature extension with bookings, pricing, posting, document attachments, a live map. The kind of work that takes a senior developer a week.
You will finish by 17:00.
But the extension is not the point. The point is how you build it. By the end of the day you will know:
- How to think about an AI agent so you stay in control instead of drowning
- How to keep your codebase architecturally sound while moving 5× faster
- How to ship with confidence, not hope
You'll leave with a skill that compounds — every project from now on gets easier.
One thing before we start¶
This workshop is not about a specific tool. Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, Codex — pick whichever you brought. The workflow you'll learn today works in all of them, and in whatever comes next.
