What's "Delphi mentality"?
>> ExtJS, if I remember correctly, is 5 or 6 years old already?
Why do you bring up ExtJS?

UI5 was developed in-house by SAP - not sure where it happened, but I think that particular bit of your comment reeks of arrogance and chauvinism

There was nothing in your comment that made sense to me at all. >> Oh my, that "Delphi mentality" in 2013..) What's "Delphi mentality"? >> ExtJS, if I remember correctly, is 5 or 6 years old already?

Because it is an JS UI library of the very same kind which were around for years, isn't it?
Not sure about arrogance, but yes, I do hate SAP because I have seen it in production.)

#25Earlier quoted context omitted.
Not so long ago, SAP released a suite of applications under the brand "Fiori" - these apps are responsivea, have a uniform look and feel and are much more pleasing to the eye. Here is an example from the Demokit: https://openui5.hana.ondemand.com/test-resources/sap/m/demok...
This looks really good, but doesn't seem to be part of the open sourced UI? If it is, i can't find it.
It's the "SplitApp" element that gives you the nice looking, responsive container (I was not able to find a good code sample right away).

#27SAP Hana is actually a pretty interesting technology for developing data analysis website. It's a DB integrated with a web server and it automatically builds web services that let you query the data. It also provides a html/js framework to easily display and drill down (i think SAPUI5 is tied to that framework, or even is that framework). They even got an amazon AMI to start developping quickly without paying the lic…
They just solve a horrible problem: implementing everyones business process as they find them at the client, instead of the other way around, with legacy support for ages.
