This enablement content is for Devtoberfest Week 3 : 7 September → 11 September 2020.
Here you'll find content to help you level up with the SAP Cloud Application Programming Model.
In a series of videos the SAP Developer Advocates will not only introduce you to the Big Picture and the concepts of the SAP Cloud Application Programming Model (CAP), they'll also explain the steps to build your first standalone application. You will start with a very rudimentary data model and simple OData services, and then make enhancements with some server-side JavaScript (Node.js) to implement your own business logic. Finally, you'll use different database systems such as SQLite and SAP HANA Cloud for storing your data and use SAP Cloud Platform as the target runtime environment for your first CAP application.
If you have any questions when doing the exercises for this topic, you can create an issue on this repository - please make sure you use this issue template with the labels 'topic-cap' and 'question'. Thanks!
The videos are based on a series of exercises. You can follow these exercises yourself by watching the videos below, where we run through each step of each exercise. Please note that there are only videos for this week's content.There are no step-by-step guides.
We've recorded these exercises individually, for you to watch. We'll be airing them all for the first time on YouTube as premieres. Premieres are videos that appear initially on YouTube at a specific date and time, and the video author is usually there in the chat and available to answer questions on the content.
For you, this means that you can set a reminder for the premieres to get notifications of when they're going live, and then join on YouTube to watch the content together, along with your fellow developers and friends, and also with the SAP Developer Advocate responsible. This means that you can chat live with them and ask questions during the event.
Don't worry if you can't make a premiere, though! After the premiere is over, the video will be available for anyone to watch at any time after that, just like a normal YouTube video (and it will keep the same URL).
Here's what the premiere schedule looks like:
| Date / Time | Mon 7 Sep | Tue 8 Sep | Wed 9 Sep | Thu 10 Sep | Fri 11 Sep |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0900 EDT (UTC-4) | Introduction | Exercise 03 | Exercise 05 | Exercise 07 | Exercise 09 |

In case you have anything you want to ask or discuss, relating to the content here, we'll hold a couple of hour-long "office hours" sessions in the week following the video premieres, specifically on Wed 16 Sep. They will be in the form of Zoom meetings and scheduled to allow participation from most timezones:
- 0300 EDT (UTC-4) → Zoom meeting link | ICS Download
- 1200 EDT (UTC-4) → Zoom meeting link | ICS Download
These office hours sessions are also in the public Google Calendar mentioned earlier.
