Well, before I was ready to jump fully into the HCP world, I needed to play with it a little first. I was pleasantly surprised that SAP has some great tutorials provided to give you the basics of using HCP.

I went this through application, and it really was pretty slick. I liked the WebIDE, it was much like working within Eclipse, only the template generated most of my code for me. Granted, I admit to not always knowing exactly why I was doing something, but I know I’ll figure it out the hard way when I go to apply my services and code here. In general, I was really impressed with the templates available. The easy layout made it pretty quick and painless to build the shell that I built “manually” within eclipse. This approach is great for building a static application. Of course, I can never do things the easy way, so my application is dynamic and based on configuration tables.
Next up, lets see if I can move my app to the HCP. Wish me luck!!!
