SAP CodeJam is a 3 hours hands-on coding and networking event where attendees share their knowledge and collaboratively develop with SAP technologies, platforms and tools in a fun and casual environment. The events are developer community focused and SAP supported exploring technologies available through the Developer Center: SAP HANA, Mobile and Cloud.

There is no special agenda or exercise attached to the CodeJam. A small introduction is held to introduce the event format as such by the CodeJam team (motivation, where to find more information, HANA Academy, openSAP), the SAP UA program (by UA organizer) and then the coding starts. There is no specific exercise/ challenge provided for the event; it is rather about exploring a technology in a relaxed atmosphere; handbooks/ material is provided as a guidance and technology experts will be onsite to answer upcoming questions or to tell some fun facts about the technology chosen for the event

Please note that this event rather aims at getting the students excited about the technology and is not about learning hard development skills. We want to encourage the students to go further and participate at bigger SAP events/ competitions such as the SAP InnoJam.

Usually you chose one technology for one CodeJam event (e.g. HANA); general rule: you can use any technology for which a trial system exists on SDN

Open internet connection, laptops/ PCs with Windows. No Apple / Macintosh supported Local contact person for logistical topics

25 – 40 participants each depending on the focus topic, the skills vary (business administration students can participate in a HANA CodeJam session)

Registration is on a first come first serve basis. Registration can also be privately open for a certain time (to reserve seats for a university) and only open it up publically later on (e.g. after 4 weeks).
