Choosing the right development tool

[Former Member]

I'm new to SAP HANA development. I bought the book "SAP HANA - An Introduction" (Bjarne Berg) where many of the possible HANA development tools are described.

These are:

• UI Developmenet Kit for HTML5 (SAPUI5)
• SAP HANA Extended Application Services (XS)
• SAP HANA Live
• SAP HANA Cloud Platform
• SAP River

In addition, there are 2 more chapters about :

• Information Composer
• SAP HANA Studio

Unfortunately, there are mostly code examples, but I'm missing a comparison between those tools. I find the variety of the tools confusing and I don't know, which one to choose for my purposes.

Is there any resource where all features of the main developer tools are listed (compared), so that I can choose the right one for me?

In short: I'm an experienced software developer, I don't mind using a more complex tool (e.g. eclipse-based).

Dear Dol,

SAP HANA Development can be done by either SAP HANA Studio (or) Web Workbench. More informaiton is available in SAP HANA Platform (Core) – SAP Help Portal Page

I would recommend you to take up the following SAP HANA Development courses from openSAP.

Introduction to Software Development on SAP HANA (Repeat) - Thomas Jung

Software Development on SAP HANA (Delta SPS 09, Repeat) - Thomas Jung and Rich Heilman

Rgds,
