First Steps

Walk through the elements of your development environment, from SAP Cloud Platform to the Git code repository. Then understand the tools at your disposal: SAP HANA XSA, SAP Web IDE, SAP HANA runtime tools, and other SAP HANA database development tools.

Developing an Application

Arrange your data into meaningful models using Core Data Services, HDB, and calculation views and then add a Node.js, Java, or custom application layer to interface between your frontend and the database. Finally, develop your presentation layer with SAPUI5 while following along with a simple project.

Securing and Troubleshooting

Ensure your application is secured using roles, privileges, authorizations, and more. See what your options are for debugging, logging, traces, and performance optimization.
