Hosting an SAP CodeJam Event: A time to learn, network and have fun.

Hosting an SAP CodeJam Event: SAP CodeJam is a 5 to 6 hours hands-on coding and networking event where attendees share their knowledge and collaboratively develop with SAP technologies, platforms and tools in a fun and casual environment. The events are developer community focused and supported by SAP, exploring technologies available through the SAP Developer Center.

Each event is based on a single topic around several of SAP technologies. It is critical that each technology has a trial or developer edition available so that each attendee is able to continue working after they leave the event – this is also why the list does not encompass “all” technologies from SAP. Several primary technologies are of course focused on but if you have an additional request and we have a trial/developer edition available please reach out to us!

  • SAP HANA (SAP HANA Platform Developer Page)
  • SAP Cloud Platform (SAP Cloud Platform Developer Page)
  • SAPUI5 (SAPUI5 Developer Center)
  • ABAP Development (ABAP for SAP HANA)
  • SAP HANA Vora (SAP HANA Vora Developer Center)

Within these technologies we have several focus areas for the CodeJam events:

  • SAP HANA XSC (available for SPS12)
  • Getting Started with SAP HANA, express edition
  • SAPUI5
