https://blogs.sap.com/2022/07/06/no-code-community-challenge-winners-announced/








The contest is over. Thanks to everyone who entered.
You can see all the entries here: https://blogs.sap.com/tag/saplowcodenocodechallenge/

SAP AppGyver is really cool. Really. And we want you to partake in the joy.

If you haven’t heard yet, SAP AppGyver is a visual programming environment where business experts and professional developers alike can build sophisticated apps without writing code.


To give you a little push to start your journey with SAP AppGyver (and with the whole low-code, no-code (LCNC) toolset), we’ve designed a simple no-code challenge for you. Simply build an app that helps you in your daily work, with a hobby, or with just having some fun – simple and fun. (If you need, we’ll give you ideas).

Then write about your app, how you built it, your experiences with the tool, and your ideas for how you might use no-code development.

 

What do you need to do?



  1. Go to the SAP AppGyver community edition, and create an account.

  2. Create an app with SAP AppGyver, and use at least 3 of the following capabilities:





    • Connect to a free, public REST/OData service

    • Create a data store on your device

    • Incorporate native capabilities of your mobile device (e.g., camera, telephony, GPS, contacts)

    • Use a formula

    • Create at least 3 pages and a menu for navigation within your app

    • Use one item from the Component Marketplace or Flow Function Market

    • Use at least 1 page parameter or page variable to store data

    • Create a composite component

    • Set the theme, and change the colors of your components

    • Build and deploy your app to SAP AppGyver server




No app is too simple, or too small. Your creativity and interest are what’s important.




  1. Deploy the app to the com domain (we’ll show you how or read about Web Builds).

  2. Tell us about your app by writing an SAP Community blog post. Add the user tag #SAPLowCodeNoCodeChallenge, specify the blog as Personal Insights, and write the following sections:





    • Purpose: Write that your post is an entry into this challenge and add a link to this blog post.

    • My App: Write a few paragraphs, with images or video, of the problem the app solves, and how the app works. Add a link to the deployed app.

    • My Experience: A few paragraphs of your development experience: what you found cool, what you found less cool. Add a few words about how you might use SAP AppGyver in the future.




Do not share any confidential or sensitive information.




  1. After your blog post is published, add a comment on this announcement blog post and share a link to your blog post.


We also encourage you to promote your blog post – and this contest – on your LinkedIn and Twitter accounts with the hashtag: #SAPLowCodeNoCodeChallenge

If you need help along the way, feel free to post in the SAP Community, Twitter, or the AppGyver forums.

 

What can you win?


All participants will earn an SAP Community badge.

Each of the 3 winners will also win a special No-Code hoodie, plus a winner’s SAP Community badge. SAP employees and SAP Champions are not elegible for the top prizes, but are encouraged to participate and share their experiences.


 

How are winners selected? 


The 3 winners will be selected by a team from SAP AppGyver Product Management, Development, SAP Developer Advocates, and SAP Champions.

The judging will be based on the following criteria:

  • How useful is the app (to you).

  • Your ability to learn about SAP AppGyver and discover its capabilities.

  • How much and how creatively you were able to make use of the SAP AppGyver capabilities for your app.

  • Your ideas and feedback (positive and negative) about SAP AppGyver.


To be eligible to win a prize, you must have a public profile with a profile picture in the SAP Community. Please ensure that you have your communication settings enabled and that you activate your email notification settings for “Content I was mentioned in” in your profile under #communications. This is so you get notified if we mention you as a winner in our blog post.

 

What’s the timeline?



  • May 9, 2022 (0:01am Eastern Time) – Start of the challenge

  • June 13, 2022 (3:00pm Eastern Time) – End of the challenge

  • July 10, 2022 (0:01am Eastern Time or sooner) – Winners’ announcement on SAP Community


 

How to Get started?


You want to participate but not sure first steps?

  1. Follow this post, so you can get an announcement about the winners. To get notifications, also ensure your notification settings are active for "blog posts I follow".

  2. Go to the SAP AppGyver community edition, and create an account, then play around with the tool.


There are lots of great, simple videos in the documentation area.




  1. Go to the SAP Community:

    1. Go to daniel.wroblewski, and follow me.

    2. Go to the SAP AppGyver page and follow it.

    3. Go to the SAP AppGyver blog page, and follow it.

    4. Finally, go to the Low-Code/No-Code Development Tools page and follow it.




Here are some places for inspiration (in addition to the SAP AppGyver blogs😞







You can go all-in on all the low-code, no-code tools and take the 18-hour, 8-unit low-code, no-code learning journey (SAP AppGyver, SAP Process Automation, SAP Work Zone) – and it includes a certification exam, if you are interested (fee) – which is part of the new SAP Learning.

Good luck 😀

Hello daniel.wroblewski,

Thank you for publishing this challenge. I personally think it is so worth the effort. Also the guidelines you provide are indeed very comprehensive. Good luck to everyone; cheers; Piotr

 

PS.

On. a side note. A few highlights from my personal and professional  experience using SAP Appgyver to develop web applications.

During my learning journey with Appgyver I came to a conclusion that in many cases I would be better off with implementing API request logic outside of Appgyver.

Towards this end I personally use a lot API Management, including with the non-SAP public, free APIs or otherwise custom APIs, or alternatively rely on kyma/k8s functions as API endpoints as well.

The usage of API Management is not mandatory (albeit is very convenient). What really matters is that APIs endpoints are well defined and this is best achieved through the industry standard openapi specification.

You may have a look at a couple of my blogs where I explain the above approach:

I had been looking for an excuse to dig into the whole Low-Code/No-Code (LCNC) hype for a while now. With a few days off work and the chance to win a free hoodie, I had no reason to put this off any longer!

Have a look at how "The Procrastinator" was born, an app we will all very much need with all the free time ahead of us thanks to this great LCNC tool 😉

My entry Country Specific Mental Health Stats (WHO) for SAP AppGyver Low Code No Code Challenge

The app consumes the API exposed by WHO for Global Health Observatory and displays the data for a specific country and for all indicators related to Mental Health.

The country is determined using the GPS location of the device on which the app is running.

It has four pages Welcome Page, Indicator Selection, Data Display, and Favourites.

 

All the best to All the Challengers

Feelings of awe contribute to happiness. So what if you had an app that could provide awe on demand?

That's the idea behind "Show Me the Universe!" https://showmetheuniverse.appgyverapp.com/

It uses NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day to show you a picture of our amazing universe and give you a jolt of awe and hopefully boost your happiness!

Dear Everyone,

Here's my entry for the Low Code No Code Challenge. It's Missing NG, a missing persons app.

The basic functions are live already. I hope to take the app from just a database of missing persons details to one where users in danger can share their GPS location and be tracked by law enforcement and other users in real-time. I'm also working on properly mapping the locations that have been searched for each missing person.

I'm grateful to SAP Appgyver for giving us this powerful tool to bring to life our ideas free of charge.

Dear Everyone,

Great journey with the AppGyver !

Here is my app - the Intelligent Covid App (branded as COVO App:) ).  During the present coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, those on the front lines, including health care professionals, researchers, and government experts need quick, easy access to real-time critical Covid data. Now, as offices are opening up (Hybrid/Fully) it is very essential to check the same data for us before travelling to office.

Here with SAP AppGyver I created an App to get such relevant data.

Intelligent Covid App

I hope you find something interesting and useful 🙂

Please share your feedback and suggestions. Thanks to daniel.wroblewski and team for organizing such a great challenge which gave me an extra push to start the journey with SAP AppGyver.
