Now that you have made it through the first chapter of this book, you have hopefully gained a good foundation to learn more on how to program in AX.

This chapter has shown you how to write the famous Hello World program in AX. It has taken you through the development environment, where you learned about the different elements in the AOT.

You have seen some of the most important development tools that you will get to know very well once you get going with the AX development.

The application object layers and network tiers have shown you the main concepts behind the technical architecture of AX and you have read a little bit about the case study that we will continue to use throughout the book.

In the next chapter, you will learn the syntax of the X++ language by looking at the different data types you can use in X++, how to write statements and loops (such as if/else and while loops), how different operators are used, and how to create and use classes and methods.
