Just completed the #SAP #openSAP course:

"Modernize Integration with SAP Integration Suite"

It was awful, but there were a few interesting nuggets in it.

Far too much self aggrandisement from SAP and some very naïve views of how real businesses work.

Note to self: in future if you can't sleep watch an #openSAP training course video, you'll be drifting off in no time. Yesterday was tedious and full of marketing puff, today is just tedious and dull in the way that only #SAP can be.

Don't think even tea can help!

We just reached our first milestone: over 1,000 learners enrolled in our upcoming #Python 🐍 #MOOC on #openHPI 🥳

Let's see if we can get to the +40.000 participants we had last time on #openSAP.

👉 If you’d like to join and learn #Python, you can still sign up here: https://open.hpi.de/courses/python2025

Do you think killing #openSAP is the most stupid think #SAP could do regarding learning? Behold! I learned yesterday that #SAP doesn't allow individuals to sign up for #SAP #BTP free tier anymore. Instead, sign up is limited to companies.

This effectively blocks anyone trying to learn about #BTP from doing so.

I know that there is the 90 day trial option. But this is not the same as it is limited to 90 days. This limit reduces the applicable use cases massively. (1/n)

Is #OpenSAP down? Can't access it since yesterday.

If only #SAP had some kind of #MOOC platform where they could offer some of the essential courses free of charge. 🤔

Another big problem is the high entry barrier to the #SAP ecosystem. Try to create a simple Hello World in #ABAP and compare this to the effort required in other ecosystems. Let alone getting access to an #S4HANA system to learn about basic customizing.

As #SAP discontinious the #openSAP #MOOC platform, I will migrate the videos from our #Python 🐍 for beginners course to #yt .

I created a playlist that will eventually contain all videos.
