Why and how to take your UI5 skills to next level

After becoming proficient with UI5. You might be working with 3 kinds of project.
 

    1. The first kind of project is where you are supporting an existing SAPUI5/Open UI5 project. Finding bugs, fixing those bugs and working on a lot of debugging.
    2. The second kind of project is where you are deploying or supporting an existing application build with Fiori or UI5, most of the application require some enhancement of existing features or small customization.
    3. The third kind of project is where you work in custom development using UI5 library from scratch.

When it comes to working on the custom development project which allows a developer to work on new and innovative solution, it not only allows them to improve and advance the skill level and knowledge but also when you are part of the innovative solutions and projects your contracting rates and consulting rates are higher than the market average.

The most challenging aspect here is able to get right opportunities which require these skills and getting prepared for the opportunity when it comes. The skills required here are advanced and which require little mastery and hands-on on core library customization and understanding of Ā how to use new elements like maps, 3rd party library, 3rd party analytics framework etc.
Keeping that in mind we have come up with a course which will help you be prepared and take your UI5 skills to next level.

3 Advantage of learning D3JS

3 Advantage of learning D3JS

 

Learning D3 can take time, especially if you have no prior web development experience. Hence, D3 is probably not for people who want to just quickly expand their visualization skills. Now back to the top 3 reasons for learning D3

1. Lots of examples.

Here’s a secret about creating great data visualizations: take ideas from other examples you’ve liked! That’s often the most effective way to make you look like and become a master data visualizer.

And that’s the great news about D3: there are thousands – thousands! – of great D3 examples to work from.

See excellent curated lists of D3 examples here and here. Many of these examples are posted online because developers want others to re-use their code. Just be sure to give credit where credit is due 🙂

2. Vibrant open-source community.

When I have a question about D3 , I often Google the issue and then quickly find a great StackOverflow or blog post that addresses it. These extensive (free!) resources are available because of the very large and vibrant open-source community behind D3.

3. Knowing D3 = Hirable skills.

Data Science and analytics skills are top trends and when it comes to analytics over web D3JS is preferred because of its powerful libraries and responsive capabilites.

If you have seen D3JS then you would be wondering, is there something which can not be done by D3JS.

 

 

 

This we all will agree who have tried in some point or other to work with it, that the time to learn it compare to other JS library is little high.If you have used sap.viz library in your UI5 project before then you might know it as well that it also uses d3 internally.

Recently there were also attempt to integrate C3.js and Chart.js libraries with UI5. The GitHub project is called custom controls for charting.This also looks pretty amazing and it is responsive as well.
