A jumpstart to understanding AX 2009
Once again a great book on AX by Dr. Hamilton. Written in straight forward business language, it provides a good explanation of the fundamental design of AX 2009. The insights provided on the intricate workings of AX 2009 will be a handy reference for any implementation team in their design considerations. The book is meant for a functional audience and not a developer (technical) audience. A must read for any organization or team implementing Microsoft's latest offering.

Dynamics AX Professional - This is an MBA level of knowledge about AX packed into a book of this size
Let me say that this book by Scott, his latest in this series, is by far the best book out there that attempts to cover so much needed knolwedge.

The knolwedge level gained is for sure an MBA level, and the structure used to deliver this knolwedge fits right into the structure Microsoft delivered for the information worker with Dynamics AX 2009.

[...]

I recommend this book to any Dynamics AX pro or customer that is looking to really get as much benefit out of Dynamics AX as possible.

I am looking forward to Scott's next release, which will include Lean Manufacturing. (Lean Manufacturing was just pre-released to the Partner community)

The best AX supply chain reference available
This book is a must-have for any AX supply chain consultant. As AX continues to expand in both breadth and depth, this book provides a valuable single-source reference for both functionality and supporting business processes. It's well written by Dr. Hamilton in the same style that made the 2 previous versions of this book excellent references - supporting diagrams and use cases are helpful and easy to understand. It's easily the best AX supply chain reference book on the market today.
