  1. Modules, modularity & reuse in CDS models - part 2 - creating a simple reuse package

    Following on from part 1 in this series, I take a step back and look at the fundamentals of creating and working with a module, locally in this part, using the NPM workspace concept.

  2. Why I use services.cds in simple CDS model examples

    The services.cds filename is special, which is why I make use of it.

  3. Modules, modularity & reuse in CDS models - part 1 - an introduction

    In this first post of a new series I look at the using directive in CDS modelling, and how NPM modules can be fundamental building blocks in modularity and reuse.

  4. Modules, modularity & reuse in CDS models

    An overview of the blog posts in the series "Modules, modularity & reuse in CDS models".

  5. A new Hands-on SAP Dev mini-series on the core expression language in CDS

    Hands-on SAP Dev is back soon, kicking off in January with a new mini-series on CAP, specifically on CXL, the core expression language in the CDS family.

  6. A simple exploration of status transition flows in CAP

    In this post I explore the new Status-Transition Flows in CAP with a simple example.

  7. Some ramblings on simple CDS modelling with CDL

    A brief note-to-self after digging in to some simple constructs in CDS modelling.

  8. Hands-on domain modelling with CAP's CDS at UKISUG Connect

    A quick overview of the hands-on workshop I'll be running at UKISUG Connect this year.

  9. Quiet cds test output - two ways

    Reducing CAP server log output during tests, in two different ways, via a profile encapsulated set of log level configurations, or via the new cds test command.

  10. Modelling contained-in relationships with compositions in CDS

    A short study of the features of CDS for modelling classic contained-in relationships, with a focus on the details, and a lean towards anonymous aspects.

  11. Using @capire modules from GitHub Packages

    Here's how to access and use the @capire namespaced modules that reside in the NPM registry which is part of GitHub Packages.

  12. CDS source formatting and readability

    Embracing a modern approach to source code formatting for human-centric modelling in CAP

  13. Upcoming talks in autumn 2025

    I'm writing this mostly to organise myself and get my preparations in order!

  14. Auto formatting extensionless Bash scripts in Neovim

    Here's what I did to make the combination of the Bash language server and shfmt work with Editorconfig settings for Bash script files that don't have extensions.

  15. Neovim configuration for file and module navigation in CDS models

    In this post I describe how I extended my Lua-based Neovim configuration for CDS filetypes to improve navigation to referenced files and modules.

  16. Excluding specific diagnostics in Neovim

    Here's what I did to be able to filter out certain diagnostic messages in Neovim.

  17. A reCAP intro to the cds REPL

    Here's a summary of my talk on the cds REPL at this year's reCAP event.

  18. A modern and clean Neovim setup for CAP Node.js - configuration and diagnostics

    In this post I describe my re-worked basic setup for working with CAP Node.js in Neovim, focusing on the configuration and digging into the LSP based diagnostic facilities.

  19. Editing Markdown in a Neovim environment

    Here are some notes I made when digging into my tools for editing Markdown source.

  20. Point free coding and function composition

    In this post I explore and show examples of the concepts of point free coding, of chains of functions through which data flows, and of function composition.

  21. Adjusting the preview width in Telescope's horizontal picker

    Here's how I adjusted the width of the preview window in Telescope's horizontal picker.

  22. FP, function chains and CAP model loading

    Understanding functional programming approaches, no matter how trivial, can help in other areas. Here I explain how being comfortable with function chains helped in working out why a required (but unused) service was being loaded into the overall CDS model in a CAP project.

  23. Array.prototype.reduce and the optional initial value

    Today I learned about the subtlety of the optional initialValue parameter for the Array prototype's reduce method in JavaScript.

  24. Functional programming resources

    I've created quite a bit of FP related content in the past but it's somewhat scattered across different platforms and in different formats and I can't remember what or where it all is. So this is a meta post in which I point to all the resources (that I can remember that) I've created on the topic.

  25. How I run executables in containers

    Here's a quick post explaining how I might typically containerise an executable. This is in the context of my aim to not "pollute" my base OS (at the bare metal level) with any installs, as far as I can, as well as to remain platform independent and abstract.

  26. Level up your CAP skills by learning how to use the cds REPL

    These are notes I wrote for my talk at SAP Inside Track Madrid on 20 March 2025. I wrote them partly to think about what I wanted to say, and partly to share the info in written form too. Note that the idea is to introduce the concepts and show some basic examples for cds REPL "initiates". Nothing too exotic.

  27. Migrating GitHub issue based URL bookmarks to wallabag

    In this post I outline how I migrated my collection of reading list bookmarks, stored as issues in a GitHub repo, to wallabag which I'm now self-hosting.

  28. TASC Notes - Part 9

    These are the notes summarising what was covered in The Art and Science of CAP part 9, one episode in a mini series with Daniel Hutzel to explore the philosophy, the background, the technology history and layers that support and inform the SAP Cloud Application Programming Model.

  31. CAP Node.js plugins - part 3 - writing our own

    This blog post accompanies part 3 of a three part series where we explore the CDS Plugin mechanism in CAP Node.js to find out how it works. In part 1 we looked at the plugin mechanism itself and how it worked. In part 2 we used the cds REPL to start our CAP service running and to introspect it. In this part we'll use what we learned and discovered in the first two parts to write our own plugin.

  32. CAP Node.js plugins - part 2 - using the REPL

    This blog post accompanies part 2 of a three part video series where we explore the CDS Plugin mechanism in CAP Node.js to find out how it works. In part 1 we looked at the plugin mechanism itself and how it worked. In this part we use the cds REPL to start our CAP service running and to explore it - to introspect it.

    I’ve been thinking a lot recently about where SAP is going and what SAP is doing today, especially in the light of where it went and what it did in the past. To be honest, the thinking has been triggered by frustration at the nuts and bolts of SAP technical matters, particularly in the area of service support and basis work.

  585. SDN, Blogging, and Planet SAP

    In May I was approached by a chap at SAP in Walldorf who wanted to ask me some questions on blogging (I have a blog over on the SAP Developer Network) for an article he was writing for an SAP-internal magazine.

  586. The SAP developer community 10 years ago

  605. The meaning of LIFETIME_RC

    Last week, during some preparation for my talk at TechEd on Thursday this week, I’d been wondering about something in the ICF that hadn’t seemed quite right.

  606. SAP TechEd first day - notes from Munich

    Well, after a nightmare getting here (V-Bird, the airline I was booked with, went bust) I’m now in Munich at a decidedly disconnected TechEd 04 (more on the disconnected misery later).

  607. SAP TechEd here I come ... with session slides!

    SAP TechEd is looming large, and this year it's in Munich. (If you’re not in Europe, then SAP are holding TechEd events in Bangalore, Tokyo, and San Diego too).

  608. The integration irony of SAP's technology directions

    I’ve finally realised what it is that’s been bugging me about the new arena of SAP technology.

    Congratulations to the three TechEd talk winners Luke, Jayakumar and Andreas.

  613. Forget SOAP - build real web services with the ICF

    I don’t like getting into a lather when it comes to data and function integration. Rather than using SOAP, I prefer real web services, built with HTTP.

  614. Real Web Services with REST and ICF

    This piece has become somewhat famous (or infamous) in SAP tech circles, for the approach it took and the claims it made. I'm happy to say that REST won out and that those that tried to denounce me ... failed :-)

  621. FOSDEM and Brussels, here I come!

    I’ve been umming and arring over conferences this year.

  622. Hawo's Queen of Grain Mills

    I've been baking bread now for quite a while now. The bread baking bug first got ahold of me when visiting friends. They had a bread making machine – something that you put all the basic ingredients into, hit a button, and presto. Naturally we bought one soon after, and I was, well, "hooked".

    On each occasion I’ve travelled to the USA, either on business or for pleasure, I’ve entered the country with a rather bitter taste in my mouth.

  636. Thinking vs doing

    In the past, I’ve mentioned to friends some of the thinking I’ve had about the Semantic Web, RDF, and related stuff (FOAF, RSS, and so on).

  637. Some ramblings on URIs and identity

    Coming back from a short break from the tech world recently, I started to reacquaint myself with FOAF and RDF, amongst other things.

  638. SAP stuff at OSCON

  667. A moment of clarity: The significance of RSS 1.0 as an RDF application

    It's to do with the emphasis on RDF rather than XML, in RSS.
