I want to build an app that extends the capabilities of D365 Sales. To build this, I need an environment with the D365 Sales entities as a prerequisite. I've created a developer environment following the instructions here: Power Apps Community Plan -- a free development environment for individual use - Power Apps Micros....
Should we be allowed to add D365 Apps to a developer environment? If yes, why is it disabled? There is a message that "Dynamics 365 apps can only be enabled for your default region" but I think this is a erroneous message because this environment is in my default region.
As an aside - if you want to build a solution that does not require a D365 license and just needs a far cheaper PowerApps license then I have an open source sales and customer service solution you can start from at -CRM/Core .

We're embarking on a journey to enhance your experience by transitioning to a new community platform. Our team has been diligently working to create a fresh community site, leveraging the very Dynamics 365 and Power Platform tools our community advocates for. We started this journey with transitioning Copilot Studio forums and blogs in June. The move marks the beginning of a new chapter, and we're eager for you to be a part of it. The rest of the Power Platform product sites will be moving over this summer. Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to the launch. We can't wait to welcome you to our new community space, designed with you in mind. Let's connect, learn, and grow together. Here's to new beginnings and endless possibilities!

Improving as a Dynamics 365 developer takes dedication and persistence. It takes years to build up your experience and knowledge but you can speed up the process by learning from the mistakes and experience of others.
It involves focus, effort and learning from your mistakes. The more focus on improving the quicker you will improve. It takes time for your skills, knowledge and experience to accumulate and learn from your mistakes.
Brittle code with large methods is hard to read and breaks. When you change one line of code ,it breaks other unrelated parts of the code. Controlling dependencies and decoupling code allows you to manage the effects of change.
Before you start typing, spend time designing your code, find classes and abstractions. Designed code is easier to read, debug, reuse, unit test, maintain and extend. All code has an impact, well-designed code minimizes the dependencies
For me Dynamic CRM is a framework. So better before you go deeper in Dynamic CRM. Try to learn basic c# development. Know all the basic like variable, data type, looping. It should give you more understanding in Plugin Development in Dynamic CRM. In Javascript, you should learn the same. After that in Dynamic CRM you only need to learn API that they create for us.
we have been engaged in Microsoft Dynamics CRM business and development for almost ten years. The experience says: as a developer you have to master C# and JavaScript at least. Also, the knowledge of DataBase will be highly appreciated.
The most important thing to learn is Dynamics CRM itself - it's pretty powerful. It's limited though and IMO Turing machine programming was the most useful thing I learned to get the best out of using Dynamics workflows etc. A few years intensive will break you in, and ensure that you're not using C# or Javascript where it's unnecessary.
Then C# I reckon, although I only use it a bit for slightly customized workflows - emailing attachments from notes for example. Make sure your work can provide you with a beefy machine and expensive Visual Studio licence if you use C# a lot though.
I simply don't have the patience/salary/power to put up with Visual Studio and if I did, I probably still wouldn't change the stack I use currently. I'm probably 10X more productive with my modest stack coding in Sublime than I would be with Visual Studio in a big place. I work for a small company. Everyone's situation is different.
MS CRM is a very easy technology to hop onto, if you are really interested in becoming an MS CRM developer then I would suggest undergoing a training on MS CRM, where you will get hold of CRM functional areas and boundaries which will help you understand the tools available, then having some knowledge on C# you should be able to become a good developer
Is Dynamics 365 a good career? Because a lot of organisations are now turning to the Dynamics cloud to update their business processes, the demand for professionals working in this field is expected to skyrocket, giving way to enormous opportunities for developers.
