The 2024 leap year gives us an extra day to get things done. I hope you will use some of that time to learn what our development teams have been rolling out to make it easier to create SAP Fiori apps, using the same tools and technologies that SAP uses to build apps for SAP S/4HANA. Make sure to check out the two new SAPUI5 adaptation tutorials, listed in the Developer Training section below.
If you want to meet with fellow developers and the SAP engineers who build our professional development tools, I encourage you to join our monthly SAP Fiori elements and SAP Fiori tools roundtable group.
Our next meeting is April 10, 2024.
Learn about the group at https://blogs.sap.com/2021/07/31/peer-to-peer-learning-at-the-sap-fiori-elements-and-sap-fiori-tools...
You can also email me if you would like an invitation.
