![]() ![]() I used the online test suite and replicated the majority of the objects using shapes in Photoshop. To make that design planning process quicker, easier and to encourage all of us collectively to make great designs and awesome apps. That’s the reason I developed the PSD file of UI5 elements. Yours can be entirely different, but the point is that I would like to encourage you to consider that a *great* design should be a part of your project goals. Since I have spent a lot of time developing both web, mobile and traditional apps for the enterprise, my approach and system development life cycle (SDLC) resembles more of a artistic approach and design definition, than a “traditional” enterprise app. When you have a toolkit which has some great looking components, its easy to skip this phase and get cracking. I am not saying every application in your organization needs a UI Designer, but planning should start with sketches, process flows, and subsequently lead to the UI design and development. Properly designing a app which is going to judged, by today’s standards, is not an option – but a requirement. everything you need is right there? Wrong, planning is everything when it comes to design. ![]() Why wouldn’t you start coding immediately …. When I started working with the UI5 toolkit, I would more often than not, start coding right away, without going through my traditional methods, and ultimately ended up in a frustrating muddled mess. But times are changing and we should all look to the creative and vibrant consumer world of both web and mobile apps to reconsider our methods and processes for developing great apps. NET controls or a “Enjoy” SAP CXTAB_CONTROL. ![]() I am sure many of you, like me, started out with a redefined canvas of boring, grey. Building “consumer grade” enterprise apps is a different way of thinking for app developers. At a recent SAP Inside Track event in NY, I made reference to the fact, that while developing a mobile app, I, or a graphic designer, can spend close to 40% of the total design & development phase/hours on the UI. The OData support, rich controls and business inspired examples lend itself well to the mantra of “Don’t reinvent the wheel”.
