Development Systems

If your primary interest in taking this course is simply to familiarize yourself with the technical development-related necessities and capabilities of SAP Screen Personas, you do not need access to a development system.
However, we realize that many of you will be interested in developing your own scenarios, based on the instructions in the course. For the purpose of this course, we will deploy an SAP appliance onto an Amazon Web Service account, which will incur a charge. We will provide a detailed guide with instructions on how to set up an account in week 1 as a precursor to the optional exercises.
