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.)

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....

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 running.

"So, may I still call you NEO?" (Of course, I'm asking for a friend of mine!!!)

I thought it may be a good idea to make (parts of) my own presentation public as I truly feel that SAP NetWeaver Cloud (aka NEO) is taking it to the next level.
