Need guidance on how to start hana learning

[Former Member]

Hi dear all:

I just stepped into Hana (without SAP experience) this week and to be honest, it's so huge a thing I believe, which made me lost in Hana, I know there are SAPUI5 for front-end development for Hana, but I do want to learn core Hana(in-memory computing) skills, could anyone see my post kindly leave some info and that would be highly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Hi Michael,

First you have to choose if you want to become a HANA Developer or HANA Admin/Technical Consultant

You can first start by learning In Memory Concepts, for this you can see videos on OpenHPI:

Course: In-Memory Data Management

If you want to learn HANA and become a developer,

After that learn about HANA Studio and get familiar with it, then learn how to load data - Data Provisioning Techniques

After that you will have to learn Moceling and SQL -  for creating different Information models

Later you can learn XS Development - learns JavaScript, Odata, UI5

or may be learn River - new language introduced by SAP

You can get all the videos for learning from HANA Academy:

SAP HANA Academy | SAP HANA

If you want to start learning HANA, I would recommend you to read my blog once:

Regarding HANA Learning materials have a look at my another blog:

Thanks so much Vivek, and luckily, I was reading you blog when you're replying my question :-), so helpful!!!

To be honest, I have experiences on development, but don't want to go that way, but I like Database/SQL, so I want to go as a technical consultant.

What's troubling me lot is it's hard to practice on SAP HANA system, is there any way to do that? thanks.

THanks for your time again, Vivek 🙂

Just a suggestion, if you like Databases and SQL which is more on the functional side then I would suggest try the Application side as the Technical side leans more towards installation and basis admin. I just completed my Technical certification. Just a thought. Good luck any way you choose!

Vivek, Thanks a lot for your quick feedback, and I'll go and see it for details, thanks

One more question please, com.sap.ui5.visualization_1.16.7.jar  is missing from my project and I'm sure I'm following the manual from site, have you done that demo on your local called ESPM SAP HANA Cloud Installation Guide.pdf? if so, do you mind send your jar for me, I googled a lot but failed to get it

thanks so much!

Hi Michael,

In addition to the links mentioned by Vivek, also go through the openSAP course on HANA development by Thomas Jung. It is a very nicely structured training course.

The link is open.sap.com
