ABAP Freakshow – March 3, 2010: WDA Performance Tools Part 2

by Thomas Jung on March 3, 2010 at 9:00 am

This is part 2 of a 6 part series on tools that are available for monitoring or troubleshooting the performance in Web Dynpro ABAP based applications. In this part of the series we look at browser based plug-ins and tools for exploring the performance on the client side. In particular we look at HTTP Watch (a 3rd party tool we use at SAP) as an Internet Explorer Add-In.

ABAP Freakshow – March 3, 2010: WDA Performance Tools Part 1

by Thomas Jung on at 9:00 am

This is part 1 of a 6 part series on tools that are available for monitoring or troubleshooting the performance in Web Dynpro ABAP based applications. In this part of the series we discuss performance aspects in general as well as looking at the Performance Monitor in WDA 7.01. The Performance Monitor tool can provide estimates about the performance breakdown of our application (client side vs. server side runtimes as well as user session memory on the server) and help us decide where we need to investigate further.

With the last two eLearning series in the ABAP Freakshow I have broken down the videos into small parts. Let me know if you like this approach or if you prefer 1 or 2 larger videos instead.

Enterprise Geeks Podcast – Battle Royale Part II: HTML5 vs Browser Plug-Ins

by Thomas Jung on March 1, 2010 at 12:44 pm

Will the battle of HTML5 vs. Browser Plug-Ins be like this:

Or More Like This:

This week we welcome guest co-host Dan McWeeney filling in for Ed. Ed is out of the office because his wife just gave birth to their first child. Since Dan works for Adobe and works in the Adobe Flash/Flex world, we thought it would be the perfect podcast to dive into the hot topic of HTML5 verses Browser Plug-Ins (like Adobe Flash and Microsoft Silverlight).

There has been a lot of debate lately (sparked largely by Apple and their refusal to have the Adobe Flash Plug-in on the iPhone/iPad) about exactly what the future role of Browser Plug-Ins will be given the advances that the next version of the HTML specification promises to bring. In this podcast both Dan and I provide our thoughts on the topic.

Dearest eGheads, we need your show ideas. If you have questions, suggestions, or topic ideas for future episodes, give us a shout here. Enjoy!

Running Time: 59 minutes

ABAP Freakshow – February 5, 2010: ABAP UI Flexibility Part 6

by Thomas Jung on February 4, 2010 at 9:18 am

This is part 6 of a 6 part series on User Interface flexibility in the ABAP environment. Part 6 of this series looks a bit to the future with the new Local Page Builder/CHIPs/Sidepanel functionality that is coming in NetWeaver 7.02. We see how reusable, generic UI functionality can easily be integrated into existing applications without coding.
