I dropped by Madlab and the Omniversity yesterday evening to see Hwayoung and Dave and talk about the upcoming Web Programming with the SAP Internet Communication Framework course in early March. (Sign up!) In preparation for the previous instance of the course last year, we shot a video with yours truly explaining what the course [...]
Over the years SAP has been slowly but surely turning itself inside out towards the wider, open community. Open as in open source, open protocols and open data. One facet of this long-term tanker maneuver was very evident today; I attended session EXP443 “HTML5 @ SAP”. With tens of thousands of developers across the continents, [...]
At SAP TechEd Madrid 2011 I stopped by booth 104 in the Technology Innovation area of Hall 10 after lunch and chatted to David Brutman, from SAP’s Technology and Innovation Platform Marketing. SAP already have enjoyed tremendous success in terms of takeup and social engagement with their SAP Community Network (which grew from the original [...]
I’m pleased to announce that my 2-day Omniversity course Web Programming with SAP’s Internet Communication Framework is coming up again a couple of times in the first half of next year.

Walking around talking to people thinking, discussing, designing and building innovative prototypes covering a huge range of topics, I came [...]
Cloud computing, virtual machines. It’s big business. Amazon has its Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) which provides “resizable compute capacity in the cloud“, Microsoft has Azure, providing “on-demand compute and storage to host, scale, and manage Web applications on the Internet” and Google’s offering is App Engine which offers “the ability to build and host web [...]
It’s been pretty much six years to the day since I last wrote here about Dashboard, Nat Friedman’s project and implementation of a realtime contextual information system. So I thought it fitting to make a short demo showing integration between Google Wave and SAP, inspired by the cluepacket-driven style shown so nicely with Dashboard. I [...]
A short while ago I was sent a review copy of “SAP Business ONE Implementation”, by Wolfgang Niefert, published by Packt Publishing. On receipt, I skimmed through it, and my first impressions were very favourable. I’m now reading through it a second time as I sit with a cup of tea and a slice of [...]
