Is RIA the Dancing Bear Hunter?

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.

ABAP Freak Show March 4th Part 2

by on March 5, 2009 at 8:14 pm

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:
