In this chapter, we covered some basic definitions of terms related to NAV and C/SIDE. We followed with the introduction of the seven NAV objects types (Tables, Pages, Reports, Codeunits, Queries, MenuSuites, and XMLports). We introduced table, page, and report creation through review and hands-on use, beginning a NAV application for the programming management of the WTDU Radio Show. Finally, we looked briefly at the tools that we use to integrate with external entities and discussed how different types of backups and documentation are handled in C/SIDE. Now that we have covered the basics, we will dive into the detail of the primary object types in the next few chapters.

In the next chapter, we will focus on Tables, the foundation of a NAV system.
