Hi everyone,
Updated and new content for Microsoft Dynamics AX was posted to TechNet and MSDN on September 21st.
Because we are still working on filling out the documentation set we are publishing large numbers of topics. Therefore, this is the longest blog post I've ever written (or tried to encourage others to read).
The following table should give you an idea of the scope of the post. Because of the length of the post, the table also contains internal hyperlinks to take you to groups of topics.

Also, topics are listed either in the order that they appear in the Table of Contents, or in alphabetical order.
