Remember last years SAPUI5 Top 5? Well, here’s the announcement for a new SAP Community Competition – The UI5 Top5 edition 2018.

One of the things I’ve always found being really complex was component reuse. This means to use one app inside another. In this blog series, I will try my best to demystify this, as it really isn’t that hard at all.

First of all, why would you even want to do this? Well let me try to explain. As you probably know, developers are lazy and if we can reuse previous generated code for other apps, not only is it smarter, because we only change in one place, but also much more effective of our precious lazy time. As an example, I am working for a customer right now, where the search helps we use in the app are other independent apps and also we are building extensions to My Inbox workflow items, that will be consisting of about 6 different apps, one for each tab in the app. Sounds complicated right, but hopefully by the end of this blog series, you’ll realise that it really isn’t.

Deep within the SAPUI5 and OpenUI5 toolkits lies a rather interesting library. Sat in a dimly lit corner, overshadowed by the all-singing, all-dancing sap.m, you notice it peering at you; beckoning you to explore… Late one Sunday you strike up the courage and prepare to embark on your journey. You take the first step. You open up the library and exclaim:”What on earth is an Object Page Layout!?”

Quite some time ago an outcry went throughout this community asking “Hey SAP – Where do I download the SAPUI5 SDK“. Well, what can I say: that time there was no good answer to this legitimate question. But the UI5 lab understood the message and set about providing a software bundle exclusively for developers to sort this out. And hopefully good things come to those wait – since yesterday SAPUI5 SDK as well as Runtime is also available for download on SAP Development Tools.

The 4th UI5con was organised mostly by the UI5 developer themselves and was to say it shortly: not only the biggest, but the best UI5con ever, ever!!

When I arrived at Frankfurt Airport in order to attend (4th) UI5con@SAP, I knew that it was going to be a great day full of valuable content and enthusiastic people, just like the first one happened more than a year ago.

What is it? UI5 Schemas allows you to develop SAPUI5/OpenUI5 XML Views at a maximum convenience. It downloads, upgrades and sets up SAPUI5/OpenUI5 XML schemas for a better development experience in your favorite IDE (if it is WebStorm ;).

On Friday June 30. the “Community networking” event for UI5 developers took place at the SAP Education center in St. Leon-Rot. It was the largest UI5 event until now, showing that the UI5community is growing fast. I am proud that I was there, being part of this community and I must say that SAP didn’t disappoint their front-end developers ...
