Espresso Tutorials Praxishandbuch SAP CAP - Cloud Application Programming Model

The SAP Cloud Application Programming Model, or SAP CAP, is a framework for creating enterprise applications, particularly suited for recurring tasks. It combines SAP and open-source technologies. It is not based on ABAP but rather on its own data definition language, CAP CDS, as well as Java and JavaScript.

In this book, software developer Johannes Gerbershagen first explains the fundamentals of SAP CAP. You will become familiar with the necessary development tools, especially Node.js, and learn about the Core Data Services Definition Language (CDL), the Core Data Services Query Language (CQL), and Vue.js. You will discover how projections and views, actions, functions, and permissions are structured, and receive information on deployment. Furthermore, the author presents the development of an SAP CAP application based on a case study, for which he also provides the code. Additionally, you will learn how to integrate SAP CAP applications with existing ABAP applications.

The book is a compact, practical guide for developers looking to venture into new territories with SAP CAP.
