Learn SAPUI5 In A Day.

This workshop will be led by Chris Rae, assisted by Graham Robinson and Leigh Mason.

Getting Started

This workshop is for developers. You will need your own laptop with administrator access.

Install and configure your local Web Server

We recommend installing the Open Source version of NGINX as it is easy to install and configure on all platforms.

If you prefer you can use Apache, IIS or any other web server you prefer - but whichever you choose be aware you will need to know how to configure it's reverse proxy settings. This is not always straight-forward.

Create or select a directory on your laptop to hold all workshop artifacts. Configure your web server so that this directory is it's root directory.

You also need to configure your web server to act as a reverse proxy to direct all HTTP requests to location /V2 to http://services.odata.org/V2.

Below is a sample server section of the NGINX.conf file. It shows the webserver configured on port 80, the root directory at /Users/graham/Sites, and the reverse proxy setting for the /V2 requests.


server {
    listen       80;
    server_name  localhost;

    location / {
        root   /Users/graham/Sites;
        index  index.html index.htm;
        autoindex on;
    }

    location /V2 {
        proxy_pass http://services.odata.org/V2;   
    }

    ...
}

Start your web server and test the configuration works before moving on.

Download and Install the OpenUI5 SDK

Download the OpenUI5 SDK. Create a subdirectory in your web server root directory called ui5 and place the unpacked OpenUI5 SDK here.

Check you can access the OpenUI5 SDK with your browser at http://localhost/ui5/openui5-sdk-1.36.10

Choose Your Editor.

If you do not already have a suitable editor installed on your laptop you should install one now.
