Introduction to SAP HANA Cloud Platform

The SAP HANA Cloud Platform is a full featured, open standards based, in-memory cloud platform designed for today’s increasingly networked, mobile, social and data-driven world. Developers can quickly build impactful, highly scalable applications leveraging the massive speed and scale of SAP HANA.

This Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offering allows you to focus on developing your software and use an enterprise-ready pre-installed environment in the SAP cloud to deploy and run your applications in a secure and reliable way.

This course will introduce you to the SAP HANA Cloud Platform and show you how to take advantage of the various services it provides. Ideally you should have basic skills in Java programming as well as basic skills in using the Eclipse development environment. The registration, learning content, and the final exam are free of charge. You will be able to get some practical experience of the platform by using a free developer trial account. We’ll explain how you can get access at start of the course.

Please be aware that this course is currently being repeated. Some units have been revised and adjusted to include the latest platform features, to ensure you have the most up-to-date material available.

Using SAP HANA Cloud Platform

If your primary interest in taking this course is getting a technical overview of the development-related capabilities of SAP HANA Cloud Platform, you do not need access to a development system. However, we realize that many of you will be interested in developing your own code, based on the instructions in the course.

You can access your own free account for the SAP HANA Cloud Platform and we’ll explain how to set up an account in one of the first sessions. There are a few restrictions for this free account, but you’ll be able to follow the course without any issues, as the instructor will use the same system as you.
