SAP Fiori Learning Journey
Whether you're just starting as an SAP developer or an experienced programmer, there's always something to learn. 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 development with the SAP Fiori user interface.
What Is SAP Fiori?
SAP Fiori is SAP’s next-generation user experience (UX) for SAP software. SAP customers can use this UX for various solutions, such as SAP S/4HANA, SAP SuccessFactors, SAP Ariba, and more. It is the successor to the existing SAP Graphical User Interface (SAP GUI) used in the SAP ERP solution. There are currently over 7,500 SAP Fiori apps available to users.
Getting Started with SAP Fiori
Comparing the SAP GUI to SAP Fiori
SAP Fiori apps look very different than the traditional SAP GUI interface used in SAP solutions prior to SAP S/4HANA. In this blog post, refresh yourself on how to call reports with SAP GUI, and then how to report on data with an SAP Fiori application.
SAP Fiori App Building Blocks: Elements
To reduce the amount of front-end code needed while developing an SAP Fiori app, and in order to keep the design consistent, SAP introduced a framework to generate UIs; it’s called SAP Fiori elements. This blog post will show off these elements and floorplans.
Push Your Apps into the World
SAP apps can be deployed to users through a dashboard called a launcphad. In this blog post, take a look at what an SAP Fiori launchpad looks like, discover its role in a business, and then see what launchpad variants are available to developers working with SAP Fiori.
SAP Fiori: Implementation and Development
Take your UI to the next level with this all-in-one resource to implementing and developing SAP Fiori apps! Start by configuring the SAP Fiori components and setting up the necessary security measures. Then it’s time to dive into applications: enabling them, developing them with SAP Business Application Studio and SAP Fiori elements, extending them for SAP S/4HANA, and more. With step-by-step instructions and screenshots throughout, this guide is your one-stop shop!
Thinking About a Career in SAP Fiori Development?
Let full stack developer Krishna Kishor Kammaje fill you in:
"Whenever bugs are identified in SAP Fiori apps, it is very important to figure out if the bug belongs to the UI code or the backend code, so that they can be efficiently triaged. As a full stack developer, you have the skillset to do this task, and you’ll likely be much faster (and save time) than having both a frontend and backend developer looking at the issue.
