Welcome to the Microsoft Dynamics AX SDK updates blog. The SDK team is responsible for the developer documentation for Dynamics AX. We'll use this blog to communicate to you when new content is available. We publish updates regularly to MSDN, and whenever we do, we'll publish a post here to let you know about it.

But we also have other types of content and code samples. So when we have something new in the realm of Dynamics AX developer docs, we'll blog about it here first!
