A Fiori Developer’s Agenda for TechEd 2017-Bangalore

A Fiori Developer’s Agenda for TechEd 2017-Bangalore

A Fiori Developer’s Agenda for TechEd 2017-Bangalore: I prepared this agenda keeping in mind Fiori developers who are already working around Fiori/OData for some time. So, if you are looking to sharpen your skills and get ready for acquiring new weapons for delighting your customers, do not miss these sessions. I have commented on each of these sessions and why is it important for you.

Wednesday

Find out how to configure and extend the Fiori Launchpad. How to add a menu item? How to add a welcome screen? Find out here.

You have always been fetching data from ECC/CRM systems so far. How about predicting the demand for a material? How about doing some image processing? You can make use of APIs in SAP API Business Hub in your SAPUI5 application. By integrating external APIs, you can awe your customers with unlimited possibilities.  Find out how in this short code review session.

You have built many apps in UI5. But is there an optimal way to develop, test, collaborate and deploy? Enter Continuous Integration (CI). Find out how Continuous Integration can be configured for SAPUI5 apps with automated build, test and deployment.

You never learnt troubleshooting. You have your own ways of finding bugs. Find out how others are debugging UI5 applications. Maybe you have something to learn there?

Knowing the future of SAPUI5 is very important. Especially when are we going to have a custom UI5 builds? What are the new controls that are going to be introduced? What about real asynchronous module loading? Ask these questions and learn more in this lecture.

Thursday

You have built many online UI5 applications. What about offline? What about adding native capabilities? You will require “SAP Fiori Mobile Service” though for most of the features, which has an additional licensing component.  Still it is better to know the architecture and the possibilities.

Day by day there are more reasons to use ABAP in Eclipse. There are many newer artifacts like CDS views which are supported only in Eclipse. But how about debugging? Find out the latest tools and get used to Eclipse and come out of Eclipsophobia..

Find out what are the most important mistakes to avoid while coding SAPUI5. Find out if you can improve better apps with improved performance and maintainable coding practices.

SAP Fiori Elements is the future of Fiori apps. But it always looked like magic. Get into the hands-on session and find out various annotations which make this magic possible. Extending these Fiori elements is complex as well. Time to get comfortable with Fiori elements.

If you are already familiar with ‘Analytical List Page’, you can skip the above session. It would make sense to get your hands dirty with extending a S/4 HANA application. Extending a Fiori application within S/4 HANA involves several moving parts unlike classical Fiori applications like CDS, Business Objects.

Friday

Have you heard about SAPUI5 Flexibility Services? This is not an automatic feature of SAPUI5. Rather developer should code it in such a way that end users can move UI controls, handle variants and add do various customizations without coding. Find how you can enable such features for your customers.

You might be already using Git with Web IDE. But Gerrit? Find how you can take collaboration to a new level performing code review and repository management. Get tips, tricks and recommendations from our Brand-new mentor from APAC Murali Shanmugham.

OData V4 is a huge improvement on the earlier V2 standards. Soon more and more SAP solutions/apps will be using OData V4.  Now that SAP tools (Service Builder/ CDS) support V4, time to find out what is new with the V4 version and how to create an V4 OData service.

We have been working with SAP Web IDE for some time. Did you hear about Web IDE Multi-cloud or Full stack version? Learn how to create a Multi target application having both server (HANA) and UI code within one project within Web IDE.
