Developer Engagement

A special Google Plus taping, organised by Jon Reed of http://www.JonERP.com, which assesses SAP developer engagement with SAP Mentors Graham Robinson and Ethan Jewett. The guys present their views on three points they determined to be crucial for SAP's success building an apps ecosystem: IP, licensing, and downloadable software. After some amusing early technical glitches, the discussion gives a clear sense of the work SAP has left to do and frames the developer themes for the TechEd 2012 season.

Aussie Demo Jam 2012

At the 2012 Aussie Demo Jam Graham showcased a demo that used a Parrot AR.Drone helicopter, ABAP and the Siri voice activated assistant that comes with the latest Apple iPhone 4S.
