Welcome

Hi everyone,

maybe some of you already know: we recently ran the repeat of the openSAP course Extending SAP Products with SAP HANA Cloud Platform. Between November 3rd 2015 and December 22nd 2015 over 3000 people enrolled to this course and got an overview on how they can leverage the SAP HANA Cloud Platform to extend SAP products.

With this blog post I want to thank all of the students for their participation and feedback and want to share the videos of the course. A course guide for the course, which links to the week guides, is also available here.

Direct access to the videos

First of all I'd like to encourage you to use the materials at the openSAP page for this course as it not only provides the videos and the slides, but also all the discussion threads with a lot of questions and answers that popped-up during the course.

The following list is meant for those of you who want to have a quick check of the videos to remember how to accomplish a specific task with the platform.

Again: don't forget that you get all the additional goodies like slides and Q&As around the course on the official openSAP page for the SAP HANA Cloud Platform course!
