- SAP Managed Tags:
2017 is extra special for us, as it marks the five-year anniversary of the SAP CodeJam program. Craig Cmehil started this program back in 2012 with the idea to help share the knowledge, explore the latest in SAP technologies, and engage with fellow developers around the globe. As of today, we have completed almost 500 SAP CodeJam events, made developer connections in over 60 countries, and explored over 15 different SAP technologies and platforms. This has only been possible because of your continuous support, so thank you!
The Five-Year Journey – Key Milestones
On April 23rd, 2012 we conducted our first of 3 pilot events that kicked off the CodeJam program. We started with SAP CodeJam Berlin, then we hosted SAP CodeJam London and finally SAP CodeJam Tel Aviv. By the end of 2013, we had hit almost every continent besides Antarctica. In the process, we also saw some ‘competition’ brewing up in terms of the food offered at the events – it may have started with a picture of a group of CodeJam attendees having steak for lunch in a balcony somewhere in Germany but we are not sure...

Not sure what SAP CodeJam is?
SAP CodeJam is a 5 to 6 hours event where a small group of developers get together for an afternoon of networking, learning, and coding in an ultra-casual environment all for free. Attendees get a chance to share and expand their knowledge and collaboratively develop with SAP technologies, platforms and tools under the watchful guidance of an expert. The events are developer community focused and supported by SAP, exploring technologies available through the SAP Developer Center.

What’s new in 2017?
In addition to our already existing topics, we have introduced three new topics to kick-start 2017:
- Getting started with SAP HANA, express edition: The topic will cover the basics from determining the version best for your needs to hardware requirements to download and installation. Our goal is to ensure that you have the security set, a new user and are able to connect your SAP HANA Studio, SAP WebIDE for SAP HANA as well as the SAP Web Development Workbench. By the end of this event, you’ll be able to head home and start working on your own SAP HANA environment
- SAP HANA Cloud Platform, Predictive Services: This topic will give an overview of SAP HANA Cloud Platform (SAP HCP), and understand how SAP HCP, predictive services and SAP HANA fit in the SAP HCP landscape. It will also teach you to how to enable, deploy and configure the SAP HCP, predictive services, play with the SAP HCP, predictive services using a REST client like Postman and build a simple SAPUI5 application that interacts with the services.
- SAP HANA Vora: SAP HANA Vora leverages and extends the Apache Spark execution framework to provide enriched interactive analytics on Hadoop. SAP HANA Vora is designed to add insight across large volumes of operational and contextual data taken from enterprise applications, data warehouses, data lakes and edge Internet of Things sensors.
