7 reasons why learning UI5 end-to-end will help you in your career

UI5 is an open source Javascript framework to create enterprise ready applications. If you have a prior experience on building HTML5 application then it will be a little more easier to learn UI5. As per my experience, it is much more worth to learn UI5 end-to-end than just to learn UI5 Javascript libraries. And Here are 7 reasons why you should worth considering learning UI5 End-to-End when you do so.

1.Not dependent upon ABAP developer for delivery

The front end of an UI5 app is Javascript, CSS3 and HTML5 but the backend is exposed as API based services data. These API based data normally comes from either SAP Netweaver Gateway or SAP HANA system. Most of the built applications nowadays are using existing SAP ERP and SAP Netweaver Gateway (Gateway for short) which is either present inside it (embedded model) or as a router (Hub Model). The API’s are exposed by Gateway in form of oData and these oData services are created using ABAP code. When you are working on a project, the ABAP developer will create those services for you. When you know the end-to-end development, then you can remove the dependency from the ABAP developer because communication overhead is a major problem on a project and this will give you a freedom to work.

2. Able to take project decision keeping in mind the entire architecture:

When you are working in UI, you have to take decision mostly on how it looks, when to show which data or data fields and these data normally comes from your backend over oData based services. If you have a clear understanding about how things work in the backend as well, then taking these decisions are much easier for you.

3.Knowing old way of working helps to make the new features relevant

If you are aware about how your users were using the existing SAP systems then it will be much easier to explain the new UX and the new features you are building. Never neglect the importance of communicating effectively.

4.Adapt easier to changes in requirements during development

Change in Technical Design in the middle of development is not common. But if you ever get in a situation where you think that your prior assumptions were wrong and some features are impossible, which you imagined were possible then don’t delay in admitting that you were wrong. Once you realized this, moving forward requires a change in design or development plan. These changes are much easier if you have end-to-end understanding of the project and it’s inner working.

5.Integration and testing is much easier

When it comes to testing your app and doing integration, knowing how to use gateway error log is crucial. It is very rare that everything will work as you wanted it to in the first attempt and sometimes tracking the bugs requires data from multiple sources to fix the problem.

6.Higher roles and better packages

This is not a surprise, the money you make is directly proportional to value you add. And you can add much more value if you have end-to-end knowledge in detail.

7.Create your own app or PoC (Proof of Concept)

This is the most interesting advantage of knowing UI5 end-to-end. You can create your own app and propose your own ideas to management to win some projects as well. An entrepreneur inside corporate world!

Top 3 Tech Trends After 2016 USA Election Result

For some, the US election result may be a surprise but for others, it may not be. Under Trump administration, we are going to see massive changes in economy and world. As we are in software industry here are top 3 tech changes we should be ready for:

1.Software security and prevention will be given more attention :

With emerging panic and concerns about the data breach and network breach all SME and large enterprise are going to increase the budget to tighten up the security and spend on preventive measures. We are going to see rise in penetration tester, Information Systems Security Professional demand going high in market. You might have got the news that UK has already decided to invest $2.3 Billion on Cyber Security link here.

2.Demand for open source framework will rise

Major companies are going to cut down the enterprise licenses on bad markets and to fill in they are going to prefer open source market technologies like Angular.js, Node.js, and Mongo DB also called MEAN Stack is going to be the norm for enterprise, small and medium enterprise.

Recently the news related to OBM in Federal news radio which says

“Code.gov has about 50 open source projects from 10 agencies so far, a number which Federal Chief Information Officer Tony Scott said he expects will grow as more agencies implement the administration’s policy”.

It is already happening with OBM read more about it here.

3.New IT jobs will be for End-to-End developers only

Enterprise will optimize and cut down IT infrastructure cost by mostly keeping people who are crucial for business and any new position will be only for developers who can single-handedly deliver the project with the minimum budget as the budget cut in projects will be a significant trend we are going see in coming few months. Read more about how Google is making end-to-end development process easier so it can be managed more effectively and easily with its new eclipse orion based platform here.

What can we do :

1. Fill in the missing skills to become an End-to-End developer or become critical for business.

The second major task of an IT manager is to remove any dependency so business can take a difficult decision like firing employees with fewer constraints. So it is important for employees to become critical for business or too much valuable to lose.

2. Add one open source development full stack framework in the belt.

Learning stack like MEAN, Mobile development with frameworks like Ionic or Appcelerator is a good option to consider.

That is the reason why we recently stopped all our running projects and focused to cover MEAN stack development for our users and members. MEAN Stands for Mongo DB an open source database system, Express.js a Javascript framework, Angular.js a front end framework and Node.js, one of the best open source middle-ware. We are planning it to be on-going so students can learn and ask questions to get a good hold on this new technology stack instead of our old approach of shooting entire video at once and making it live.

This course will be covering entire MEAN stack, starting from Angular.js off course check the course link below here .

We highly recommend our members to upgrade their skills to any good end-to-end enterprise framework or know an open source stack end-to-end framework from us or any place else who offer a good quality course like us, because it will be crucial for survival in software Industry .

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.

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.
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.
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 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

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.
