2013 is already ongoing for a while … time to list some interests & objectives for the coming year … SAP is moving ahead fast and times are changing. So what’s on our list?
SAP Gateway — this ABAP addon will turn any SAP Netweaver system into a REST enabled service provider/client, allowing BAPIs, RFCs and custom objects to be exposed as REST services using the OData standard.
SAPUI5 — yet again a new ‘client frontend’ model from SAP, based on jQuery (Javascript), positioned as THE new future front-end by SAP for small web applications on desktops, mobile, etc, while WebDynpro would remain the preferred technology for larger business applications.
SAP Cloud Developments — build applications hosted in the cloud which seamlessly integrate with SAP systems.
SAP HANA — never hurts to find out a bit more on SAP’s latest serious leap forward, especially when SAP ERP on HANA is there.
That’s quite a lot of fresh new technologies … waiting to get explored and mastered … 2013 promises to be an interesting year :-)
