C/SIDE (C/SIDE Development Environment)

C/SIDE (C/S Integrated Development Environment) is a software framework used to develop and customize business applications within Microsoft Dynamics NAV (now Dynamics 365 Business Central). It provides developers with tools to create, modify, and manage the application's features, user interfaces, and reports efficiently. Think of it as a specialized workspace where programmers tailor the software to meet specific business needs, ensuring it functions smoothly and aligns with organizational workflows. C/SIDE streamlines the development process, enabling customization without altering the core system, which helps businesses optimize their operations effectively.
