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.
After Devtoberfest comes TechEd and the long tail of conferences that lead into the holiday season. Then comes the new year, and a restart of our long running live stream show "Hands-on SAP Dev" on the SAP Developers YouTube channel.
We're starting 2026 off with an under-the-hood style mini-series exploring expressions in CDS.
It's all about CXL - the Core Expression Language. What's that? One of the mini languages1 in the CDS language family that is all about expressions. Expressions are everywhere - they're used in queries, in calculated elements and in annotations. They are fundamental to many of the underlying design philosophies in CAP and convey power wrapped in simplicity that is the hallmark of CDS.
👉 Join CAP core team member Patrice Bender and me in Part 1 of this new mini-series "CDS expressions in CAP - Under the hood" on Fri 16 Jan 2026 at the usual time.
