Will RIA make the Dancing Bear extinct?
Awesomeness alert! In this episode, we have the honor to talk with special guest Michael Coté from Redmonk. The episode was so packed with geeky goodness, that we had to split it into two parts. Listen below for part 1 as we talk about all kinds of fun topics including an in depth discussion about RIA and the future in the Enterprise. Be on the lookout for part 2 coming soon.
If you have questions, suggestions, or topic ideas for future episodes, give us a shout here. Enjoy!

In the second part of this episode of the ABAP Freak Show, we continue to look at Adobe Flash Islands for Web Dynpro examples. This time we explore a multiple file uploader. The uploading is done to a dedicate SICF handler class and written into a temporary database table using the EXPORT command. So in addition to just learning about Flash Islands technology, several other little known ABAP topics are explored as well.
I do realize the irony of posting a March 4th episode, part 2 on March 5th. I apologize for the delay and for the problems with the source code download on part 1. Hopefully the super big episode – both parts clock in together at 76 minutes – will make up for the technical problems/delays.
Here is the link where you can download the source code for the ABAP (SAPlink and Transports) and Flex portions of the example:

Welcome to Part 1 of the March 4th edition of the ABAP Freak Show. This week’s episode is so big and so fun that I had to split it into two different parts.
In this first part we look at another Adobe FlashIslands for Web Dynpro example. It is an implementation of the Google Maps API. The licensing model for Google Maps might be a pain, but the technology sure is fun to play around with. See how you can build an application with an interactive map, geocoding, and route directions look.
You can download the source code of the Flex project and the ABAP code (as SAPlink or transport files) here:

In Part 2 (which will be posted on March 5th because my PC is still struggling to complete the video rendering), we will look at a second Adobe FlashIslands for Web Dynpro example – a multiple file uploader; so check back tomorrow.

In this episode, hosts Ed Herrmann and Thomas Jung talk with special guest Craig Cmehil. Craig talks about his prediction for more adoption of video and collaboration in 2009 and shares some sneak peek details about his special 24 hour live charity event. And of course, for all of our fellow SAP egheads, we share our views on SAP Flash Islands and what it means for future applications.
