Dear openSAP community,

Whether you’ve already attended SAP TechEd 2018 in Las Vegas or you’re all set to attend in Barcelona or Bangalore, or if your schedule doesn’t allow you to attend, you’ll find some selected sessions available on openSAP from December 4 with our SAP TechEd 2018 Recap.

SAP TechEd 2018 Recap

Earlier this year, we received feedback from members of the SAP ecosystem asking for SAP TechEd sessions to be made available offline after the event.

SAP TechEd Recap 2018 differs from the openSAP courses you’ll find on our platform: There is no discussion forum and no transcripts, and while some select sessions have self-tests available for fun, there is no course assignment. Enrollment is now open and all the content will be available from December 4.

Dear openSAP community,

If you’re an application developer, application architect, or user interface designer, then we’ve got a brand-new course for you - Maps and 3D Made Easy with SAPUI5.

Maps and 3D Made Easy with SAPUI5

This course is aimed at application developers and designers who want to show 3D or geographical content in their application using standard SAPUI5 controls, without having to understand much about geospatial or 3D technologies, or vendor-specific APIs.

Dear openSAP community,

We know that our learners come from all over the globe and we understand that learning in your first language is easier for a large percentage of learners. That’s why we’ve been searching for a scalable solution to offer you video subtitles across several languages. We’re ready to share the results of our machine learning translation in a repeat of our popular course, Enterprise Machine Learning in a Nutshell (Repeat). For the first time at openSAP, learners will have the option to view the video subtitles in Spanish, Portuguese, German, and French. We’d like to get your feedback on the translation of this course to help us evaluate our progress. You can provide feedback in the forum and in a survey at the end of the course. We look forward to seeing your feedback!

Enterprise Machine Learning in a Nutshell (Repeat)

The objective of this course is to help business decision makers understand the recent advances in machine learning, the basic concepts involved, and how business problems can be solved. When it originally opened in December 2016, learners provided positive feedback and here is just one example (I like, I wish):

I loved this course because of following reasons:
a) It gave an overview of what machine learning is.
b) It explained concept of machine learning in simple language.
c) The examples used were easy to relate and understand.
d) It also explained how Machine Learning can be used in Enterprise space.

The course starts again next week, November 21 and enrollment is now open!

Dear openSAP community,

We have three brand new courses now open for enrollment and starting over the coming weeks. We’re revisiting Machine Learning and Data Science with new hands-on courses, Data Science in Action - Building a Predictive Churn Model and Enterprise Deep Learning with TensorFlow. We’re also bringing you the latest updated on our very first course at openSAP with Software Development on SAP HANA (Update Q4/2017).

Software Development on SAP HANA (Update Q4/2017)

If you’ve previously taken one of these courses at openSAP or if you’re just an experienced SAP HANA developer, then this course is ideal for you. In this course, we’ll start from the assumption that students are familiar with the basics of the previous SAP HANA courses focused on SAP Web IDE for SAP HANA to develop both HDI (SAP HANA Deployment Infrastructure) and XSA (SAP HANA extended application services, advanced model). This will allow us to dive deeper on key topics from real world applications. We’ll also cover new functionality added in SAP HANA 2.0 SPS 0 – SPS 02. This course starts from November 15 and enrollment is now open!

Enterprise Deep Learning with TensorFlow

This is a follow-up to our previous course, Enterprise Machine Learning in a Nutshell. This course provides a hands-on introduction to deep learning for developers and data scientists, using Google’s TensorFlow framework. You’ll learn to build deep learning models for enterprise problems, including when to use deep learning and when not to use deep learning. The course will be presented by SAP experts from SAP Innovation Center Network with special guests from JP Morgan Chase, NVIDIA, Google, and others. The course starts October 23 and enrollment is now open!

Data Science in Action - Building a Predictive Churn Model

Stuart Clarke is returning to openSAP with the next steps in data science. This course includes hands-on exercises so you can experience the complete process from the view of a data scientist! We’ll start by setting the scenario for you with a business case study for a telecommunications company. You’ll learn to prepare the data and create an analytical data set, conduct an initial data analysis, and learn how to encode the data. You’ll develop a churn model, evaluate its performance, and learn how to productionize it. Finally, you’ll learn how to monitor and maintain a model, build a segmentation, and improve model performance. The course starts November 8 and enrollment is now open!

Dear openSAP community,

Once again, this year openSAP is supporting code weeks across the world, with the aim to encourage young people to learn about coding and designing software. We have five courses available for young people including a brand new course, Design Your First App with Build, along with our previous courses, Code Week: Teaching Programming to Young Learners (English and French) and Code Week: Teens Get Coding! (English and French). The courses are not restricted to children and teenagers – no matter what age you are, if you’d like to get started with coding then sign up and take part!

Design Your First App with Build
Starting from October 4, this course will help you to develop your own “Design Thinking”. You’ll learn how to use a free and fun prototyping tool called SAP Build. The course has been especially designed for young people interested in technology, but with little or no development experience. By the end of this 4-week course, your greatest achievement will be that you won’t just be using apps, you’ll be designing them with confidence too!

Code Week: Teaching Programming to Young Learners (English | French)
Starting from September 26, this course is aimed at teachers and parents of pre-teens to help you encourage children to get involved in programming and coding from an early age. You don’t need to know anything about coding to take part! This course will introduce you to Scratch, a free coding system by MIT. You’ll learn how to use the system and how to teach children how to use it and put their imagination and creativity to work. The course is available in English and French.

Code Week: Teens Get Coding! (English | French)
Starting from September 26, this course is aimed at teenagers and young people interested in learning how to code. You’ll learn how to use the free Scratch system provided by MIT. All you need to take part is an email address, a computer, internet access, and a touch of imagination! The course is available in English and French.

Enrollment for all courses is now open!

Dear openSAP community,

Our series of design courses have proven very popular with the openSAP community and we are happy to announce a brand-new course, Basics of Design Testing (Edition Q4/2017), and a new edition for our popular Developing Software Using Design Thinking (Edition Q4/2017).

Basics of Design Testing (Edition Q4/2017)
Design testing is often called user testing, usability testing, user acceptance testing, validation, and many other terms. This course will introduce you to design testing and covers the basics, how to prepare, and best practices. One of the most important elements is to test early and test often with the right target group. By testing early, you can identify possible issues early on, find out what’s wrong, and make the necessary changes. This course begins on October 11 and runs for five weeks. Enrollment is now open!

Developing Software Using Design Thinking (Edition Q4/2017)
This course is returning to openSAP in Q4 and it gives learners another chance to take part in the group work, where there are a limited number of spaces (required to earn a Record of Achievement). Even if you don’t have time to join the group work, you can still learn about design thinking through the videos and ask questions in the forum. The course is now open for enrollment and you can apply to take part in the group work from October 17. Please ensure that you can commit to your group before you apply for the group work.
