  6. A reCAP intro to the cds REPL

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

  7. 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.

  11. 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.
