Use these resources from SAP PRESS (books, blog posts, and videos) to develop your own career and take the next (or first!) steps into the world of [SAP BTP](https://learning.sap-press.com/sap-btp).
## What Is SAP BTP?
SAP BTP is a platform focused on turning data into actionable business plans, particularly by leveraging tools found in an intelligent enterprise. SAP BTP contains many solutions, tools, and products under its umbrella. SAP BTP was first introduced in 2021 when SAP decided to package multiple services and products into one platform that businesses could use to make business decisions. Much of the platform’s functionality comes from the now-defunct SAP Cloud Platform brand.

## Thinking About a Career in SAP BTP?
[](https://blog.sap-press.com/the-sap-btp-development-approach)
#### Learn about the SAP BTP development approach:
"SAP BTP is the primary platform to build extension applications for your core line of business (LoB) solutions (SaaS or on-premise), integrate intersystem processes, and develop innovative net new use cases. As far as the core development process is concerned, a bulk of development is done for extension use cases. So, we’ll focus on the development approach in the context of extension use cases, although a similar approach is applicable for net new applications as well."
