Today, web developers need to deal with various different frameworks to build amazing mobile-first web apps: MVC Frameworks, UI libraries, templating libraries, i18n libraries and many more.
SAP decided to remove the burden for you in trying to understand how those libraries can be hooked together and developed OpenUI5: An open-source web UI library with MVC support, data binding, more than 180 extendable and responsive UI elements, i18n, and much more – in just one library. It uses jQuery as foundation and thus allows you to make use of your existing knowledge. Furthermore, the key differentiator is it’s enterprise-angle and the support of use-cases that other libraries lack out-of-the-box.
In this workshop, I’ll show you how to quickly prototype fully responsive web apps that make use of the Model-View-Controller pattern while consuming JSON data. You’ll leave this workshop with your first OpenUI5 app, running on the JavaScript playground Plunker.
You can learn more about OpenUI5 at
http://openui5.org and get yourself familiar with Plunker (
http://plnkr.co) before the workshop.
Requirements: Knowledge about JavaScript (+ jQuery) and HTML, Web Browser, Internet Access (more to be announced)
