HANA Reference for Developers - Links and SAP Notes(Part-1) - Updated 04.12.2013

[vivekbhoj]

Hi Everyone,

We all have read awesome blogs from petr.solberg-  The SAP Hana Reference for NetWeaver Basis Administrators and bill.ramos - The ultimate set of HANA related links from SAP. These blogs are very helpful to everyone of us.

What i observed from these blogs was "As Andy's blog title said its mainly for Basis Administrators and has very huge list of SAP Notes - some of these Notes are useful even for HANA Developers but these notes are very hard to find while Bill's blog had huge list of links that has been categorized very well but it has not been updated in a while due to which few topics are missing lot of information and many new topics are not present there."

While working with HANA and its new functionalities, i had to look for information and it used to take a lot of time to get the correct information, so i tried to create a list of SAP Notes and a list of links to the documents that i have followed and want to follow so that i don't have to go through the pain of searching this information again.

The above two blogs helped me a lot in getting this blog ready - got few SAP Notes and links from these, so i am very thankful to both Andy and Bill for their efforts.

I hope this blog will be helpful to everyone.

Last time I also wrote a blog Want to learn SAP HANA?Where to Start?Certification? but was not fully satisfied with it and thought something was missing, tried  editing it but it would have made the blog too long.

So I thought of creating a new blog and adding everything in one blog but this blog became very long so i have decided to divide it into two parts.

This part of blog covers all the topics related to HANA.

Second part covers advanced topics related to HANA - HANA Reference for Developers - Links and SAP Notes(Part-2)

Deleted all obsolete SAPHANA website links and added new ones

HANA SPS8 Guides and videos are now available:

Check the below document to know What's New in HANA with links to many other documents and videos on new features:
