Hello Everyone,

We all know how the ABAP Framework has been evolved and how it keeps on evolving to meet the next genearion

of Enterprise businesses. You got it ? Yes we are in the SMAC generation(Social Mobile Analytic Cloud).

SAP has been working diligently on this to succeed its customers and partners and as always at its best :smile: .

But the real question that strikes us is "Are the developers in "same page" and found to be comfortable with

SAP to learn/develop/architect the new cutting edge technologies that are rolled out in the market?

A small example to start with.Before/After evolution of SAP Gateway

Scenario:A fiori like project.App runs in desktops/mobile.

Bob:An ABAP developer

Before evolution of SAP Gateway :

His Skill sets required : ABAP-->All lived in SAP GUI sessions at the max. except WDA & BSP.

Resouce required : 1

After evolution of SAP Gateway :

Skill sets required : ABAP + OData services + API's (a new member to the family  ).

Resouce required : 1 or 2 or 3 ?

How should consider the role of the Bob.

A : ABAP developer

B : ABAP + Gateway developer

C : ABAP + Gateway + API developer

I am just omitting SAPUI5 in the above context. If that included then we may have a next item called as D.

D:ABAP + Gateway + API's + SAPUI5

And this results in below queries to ask.

Q1: What should be the role of next generation developers?

Q2 :Do developer feel themselves comfortable with SAP's roadmap ? By comfort we mean the rapid changes that are happening.

Q3: We are aware these technologies keep developers alive to sustain in day-to-day competitive businesses.

      This will make "Businesses made/run simple" but will it make the developer complex to cope up with this?

Thoughts i have shared here are purely personal.I may be wrong.

Your feedback is appreciated.

Cheers

Prabaharan
