Blast from the Past - The Inside Track Series

David Meego - Click for blog homepageAs most of you know, before I worked for Microsoft, I ran Winthrop Dexterity Consultants. Well, I had a look at the old website recently and decided that it really needs to be updated.

Since Winthrop sold the Omni Products to Rockton Software over three years ago, this is really long overdue.

I suppose the reason for hesitating was that there are still some useful information and downloads on the site which I would like to leave available.  So as part of the project to update the site I am going to move (and where appropriate... update) some of the best resources to the Developing for Dynamics GP blog. 


The first part of this migration process is to bring across Karl Gunderson's The Inside Track series of solution developer newsletters.  There were ten newsletters which were published between August 2000 and October 2001. I suppose if Karl was writing these newsletters now, they would have been blog posts.

I will be posting this articles over the next few weeks for you to read.  There is still much value in what Karl had to say, but I should mention that there might be information that is no longer valid today.  It took between one and two hours to reformat each post for the blog, but I believe it was worth the effort.

The table below lists the articles with their original dates as well as when they will be posted on the blog.
