| 4 min read

I thought it would be worth collecting together a lightly annotated list of Fiori and UI5 public videos that I’ve published on my YouTube channel. (I say public, as there are quite a few OpenUI5 related videos still marked as private, waiting in the wings … watch this space!)

OpenUI5 MultiComboBox First Look 25 Jul 2014
A first look at the sap.m.MultiComboBox in OpenUI5 version 1.22. Note that the addition of a key for the root element is not entirely necessary (but probably what you might want). I wrote more about this here Keyed vs Non-Keyed Root JSON Elements & UI5 Binding.

Stupid Firebase and SAPUI5 tricks 14 Apr 2012
Saturday evening hacking around with Firebase, the command line, and an SAPUI5 Data Table. Fairly pointless but interesting nonetheless. Firebase uses websockets for realtime data streaming to your browser-based app, and you can interact with the JSON data with HTTP. Every piece of data has a URL. Now that’s nice.

SAPUI5 and OData 12 Feb 2012
I looked at the data binding support for OData based data sources (such as those exposed by SAP NetWeaver Gateway!) in the (then relatively) new SAPUI5 toolkit. I also wrote this up on SCN: “SAPUI5 says “Hello OData” to NetWeaver Gateway“.
