UI5 NewsCast 033 UI5con 2023: Perspectives and Passion for the UI5 Framework

The UI5 Tooling is a open&nbsp;and modular&nbsp;toolchain designed for developing&nbsp;state-of-the-art&nbsp;web applications&nbsp;based on&nbsp;the UI5 framework. Since its introduction a few years ago, it has become an indispensable part of UI5 app development. To gain deeper insights into this project, we have the&nbsp;honor&nbsp;of speaking with the architects of UI5 Tooling, Merlin Beutlberger and Matthias Osswald. Both have been involved with UI5 for many years, with Matthias even starting his SAP career in UI5 framework development. They have been instrumental in shaping the UI5 Tooling project right from its inception. We begin by discussing how they became UI5 framework developers. We then delve into the history of UI5 development tools, exploring the driving forces behind starting the project and the decision to make it open source. Additionally, they shed light on the barriers and&nbsp;restrictions&nbsp;that make this project particularly challenging. Finally, we gain some insights into what lies ahead&nbsp;for UI5 Tooling.

UI5 NewsCast 031 Year End Wrap Up 2022: Highlights, Achievements, and Outlook

The ui5-community GitHub organization evolved to a central place to develop and share UI5 projects. It has become a great place to find ideas, to pick-up and continue ideas and finally make them available for the whole UI5 community. Starting with the UI5 ecosystem showcase mono repository hosting several tooling extensions, it now hosts more and more individual projects for different purposes: applications, libraries, custom controls, tooling extensions, middlewares, tasks or Easy-UI5 generators. Many developers contributed over the past year and during the panel discussion. Volker Buzek and Peter Muessig interviewed at UI5con 2022 some of the UI5 community contributors: Jakob Kjaer, Nitish Metha, Marian Zeiss and Marco Beier to share their experiences and some history.

UI5 NewsCast 030 Panel Talk: UI5 Community – Contributor Experiences

UI5con started in 2016 as a side project from a group of volunteers with the intention of bringing the UI5 community closer together. They wanted to create a platform for people who share a passion for UI5 to meet and learn from each other. In the meantime, UI5con has become the most important event for UI5 developers. Since it was only possible to run the event virtually for the last two years due to the COVID pandemic, the organizers decided last minute to open their doors to a limited number of participants onsite. Christoph Haffner was also part of this to capture voices live from the event and asking participants about their experiences as a UI5 developer.



Participants of this episode include among many others Sergei Haller (U-NIQ), Marian Zeis (UI5 developer, freelancer), Marcel Schork (Schwarz IT), Lennard Abel (Optima Packaging), Margot Wollny (SAP), Frederic Berg (SAP) and Uliana Cáceres (SAP).
