Keeping with our recent topic of Agile Development, I recorded a round table discussion on the topic at the recent SAP Inside Track Sydney (which took place at the start of the Mastering SAP Technologies Conference). We had a really good discussion about Agile in the SAP space and I shared my experiences from working with the Web Dynpro ABAP foundation team, which was one of the SAP internal pilot teams for Agile during the 7.0 Enhancement Package 2 development cycle.
The Inside Track had four separate round table discussions going on at once and all in the same room. I boosted the audio levels on the recording but sometimes people farther away from the microphone asking questions or adding comments can be a bit difficult to hear.
The morning after the RIA Hacker Night in TechEd Vienna, fellow Enterprise Geek Craig Cmehil and myself had the opportunity to sit down and discuss the highlights of the Hacker Night, TechEd in General, and the future of both events. We also spend a little time looking back at some of the less know activities of TechEds past (digging up some stories that were perhaps best left unmentioned).

TechEd is quickly approaching and I thought I would use this episode of the ABAP Freak Show to preview some of the Web Dynpro ABAP related sessions that will presented at TechEd. I preview the following sessions in this video:
In the following “SDN Land of the ÜberGeek” episode Craig Cmehil speaks with Adobe about the upcoming RIA Hacker Night at the SAP TechEd 2009 events in Phoenix, Vienna and Bangalore and the brand new edition to the evening event the – “Code Camp”.
This is part 3 of the 5 part series on ABAP OO. In this part we will expand the lessons of the previous tutorial and look at a special type of class in ABAP – the Persistent Object. Persistent Objects are an OO-based approach to the types of data access that you would normally perform with SQL statements. With Persistent Objects you don’t code any SQL statements. Instead a class is generated for you that contains SET and GET methods for reading and updating data. ABAP Persistent Objects also contain the functional for more complex update scenarios – like V2 Asynchronous updates.
