Software engineering is a craft! In his book “The New Kingmakers – How Developers Conquered the World” Stephen O’Grady from RedMonk explains why [...]]]> http://www.inscope.net/post/4150/feed 0 http://www.inscope.net/post/4139 http://www.inscope.net/post/4139#comments Tue, 26 Feb 2013 23:08:04 +0000 Matthias Steiner http://www.inscope.net/?p=4139 One of my buddies and fellow SAP Mentors Ethan Jewett wrote a thought provoking piece about a topic currently seeing a lot of hype (especially in the SAP community): gamification. For a change – I mostly agree with Ethan that points, badges or achievements are not the silver bullet to keep people engaged or motivated. At least not in the long run!

Those missing sure missed out on a great breakfast as well as the great opening act… Part 1: Scaling Craft Shanley Kane from Basho kicked off Day 2 with a very infotaining talk titled Scaling Product “Management”: Keeping [...]]]> http://www.inscope.net/post/3991/feed 2 http://www.inscope.net/post/3959 http://www.inscope.net/post/3959#comments Mon, 04 Feb 2013 14:24:00 +0000 Matthias Steiner http://www.inscope.net/?p=3959 “Why would you want to attend a conference run by an analyst firm?” - James Governor With those words James Governor kicked-off Monki Gras 2013. It was more of a rhetorical question of course. Guess it’s safe to assume that all the people that had made their way to central London this week knew exactly what to expect from the event and why they attend. RedMonk surely is not the typical analyst [...]]]> http://www.inscope.net/post/3959/feed 4 http://www.inscope.net/post/4046 http://www.inscope.net/post/4046#comments Fri, 14 Dec 2012 21:42:06 +0000 Matthias Steiner http://www.inscope.net/?p=4046 Those who have been following my recent whereabouts know that I’ve been looking into turning a SAP UI5 mockup project created with the upcoming AppDesigner into a working application by connecting it to the SAP Mobile Platform – Cloud Edition (for more details please refer to Jens Koerner ‘s recent blog.) In a nutshell, the process looks like this: You take the HTML5 + JS + CSS code generated by the AppDesigner [...]]]> http://www.inscope.net/post/4046/feed 0 http://www.inscope.net/post/4034 http://www.inscope.net/post/4034#comments Sat, 17 Nov 2012 16:53:00 +0000 Matthias Steiner http://www.inscope.net/?p=4034 If you're working in IT you probably have heard this urban legend of Rapid Application Development frameworks being the silver bullet for delivering great software at unprecedented speed....]]> http://www.inscope.net/post/4034/feed 0 http://www.inscope.net/post/4054 http://www.inscope.net/post/4054#comments Fri, 02 Nov 2012 21:57:37 +0000 Matthias Steiner http://www.inscope.net/?p=4054 As stated in the first post of my “Essentials” series it’s all about lowering the entry barrier and helping newbies to get started with SAP NetWeaver Cloud. So, in this blog post I quickly want to provide you with the ‘bare necessities’ to install the required tooling for Git and Maven for Eclipse in order to simplify the process of getting examples from social code sharing sites such as Github up and [...]]]> http://www.inscope.net/post/4054/feed 0 http://www.inscope.net/post/3923 http://www.inscope.net/post/3923#comments Fri, 12 Oct 2012 04:12:15 +0000 Matthias Steiner http://www.inscope.net/?p=3923 "So, may I still call you NEO?"
