SAP, ODATA, OpenSource and Apache Olingo

An airhacks.fm conversation with Michael Bolz (@onemibo ) about:
The first line of Turbo Pascal in 1992, 286 Compaq with a Turbo
button, writing an installer for friends, C64 vs. PC, Jump and Run
without jumping, writing some HTML code with DreamWeaver, What You
See is NOT what you get, studying at the University of Applied
Sciences in Karlsruhe, building web based applications with Struts,
Java is easier to learn than C/C++, starting with "public static
void main", then managing students with Java, writing UI tools in
Swing / AWT for applying patches in CMS, JSF vs. Struts, the
steinbeis foundation system migration from EJB 2.1 to EJB 3.1 in
2008, EJB 2.1 required code generation with xdoclet - and EJB 3.1
was nice, Heidelberg is nicer than Karlsruhe, the JAX 2012 meeting
with JMS expert Ruediger zu Dohna, simplifications with JMS 2.X,
copying museum code from the internet, copy and paste oriented
programming, working for SAP, opensource at SAP, starting Apache
Olingo, the ODATA specification for accessing backends, backend for
frontends, ODATA is queryable database, ODATA exposes CRUD+
operations as standardised REST interface, Olingo is ODATA
implementation for Java, Olingo is a raccoon, Olingo team started
with 4 developers, ODATA v4 is an OASIS standard, ODATA v4 is
mostly based on JSON, 2 developers are currently maintaining
Olingo, JPA extension only exists for the Olingo v2 and not v4,
most SAP services are available as ODATA endpoints, SAP's UI5
components can be also bound to ODATA, SAP UI5 widgets are also
available as SAP ui5 WebComponents, MaxDB, teaching ABAP developers
Java, nightly conversations about the R3 VM, in ThinWARs there is
nothing to scan, removing unwanted dependencies is a good idea,
Vulnerability Assessment Tool (Vulas) by SAP research, Vulas is
going to be donated to Eclipse Foundation, Vulas scans transitive
dependencies as well as the source code of the dependencies, SAP
runs a lot of Java apps internally, Olingo comprises two parts -
the metadata and the execution part, Olingo v2 comes with JPA
extension and a Servlet as entry point, Microsoft contributed the
Olingo client, Java Annotation extension for Apache Olingo V2,
Olingo is open for contributions, it is a good idea to discuss new
features on the mailing list first, new Olingo features must be
backward compatible, this podcast episode was triggered by 66th
airhacks.tv Q&A,
