Imagine you have a server and you are loading some configuration for executing some business logic. You don’t want to load all the configuration when the server is launched since it will take a lot of time for it to be ready for handling requests.

It is a common practice to store different user types in different database tables. For example, in most applications you will have an Admin user and a normal user.

Sometimes we would like to postpone loading data in a component till it is actually visible in the viewport. This is handy in applications where we have lots of tables with data that should be loaded only when we scroll down.

Displaying parts of view based on conditions is super easy in Blade using @if ... @endif conditions. Imagine we are storing the role information as a string in the User model under the role field.

Why should we make our own Autocomplete component when there is plenty of existing components out there? For simple use cases, yes that serves enough.

ALV Tables are most preferred way to display when you have large amount of data to be displayed in tabular format due its flexibility and numerous features.

Pagination is one of the basic component we will need with any application. Let’s create a pagination component using Bootstrap and Vue.

This being my first SAP TechEd, my experiences are countless and still I’ll try to summarize some of the things I felt.

Let’s explore Vue.js further by creating a Countdown timer component which will be very useful for people to quickly put a Countdown page for the products or events website.

Note: This article is using Vue.js 1.0. If you are planning to use Vue.js 2, go to this article From the days of jQuery, I have been pulling in different plugins everytime I wanted to create an Autocomplete input.

Bootstrap has become one of the basic tools to start web development. Though I’m using it for quite some time, I don’t dare to change the original look and feel due to the fear that I may mess up with the project and or spend too much time on designing.

Laravel 5 ships with Bootstrap 3 by default, but it uses Less and not Sass. Personally I prefer Sass over Less and this article helps you set up Bootstrap Sass using Bower and Laravel Elixir.

Reports which has the capability to drill down to multiple levels are of good use. It serves as a simple overview as well as more detailed report when you want to look into a particular record in detail.

SAP provides many ways to accomplish a task, creating an ALV Grid is no different. Though there are simple Function Modules available to create an ALV grid, Object Oriented methodology is more preferred due to its own advantages which are always debated in the ABAP world.

There are requirements where documents has to be uploaded and associated with business data available in the system. When we store files in tables, it will be easy to link it with other tables data.

We generate different kinds of files varying from Excel sheets to Text files based on the data available in SAP. It is very much possible to zip multiple reports within a single zip file and download the zip file from SAP.

Random Numbers are used for a variety of purposes in programming, and in this article we will see how to generate a Random Number or Random Number Sequence in ABAP

While SAP has created most of the Search Helps that we will ever need, we still face situations where a Search Help has to be shown dynamically from data that we have in the an internal table.

The time taken for an ABAP report to run is mostly spent in database queries and internal table processing. While the responsibility of database query optimization is spread across so many different levels, optimizing internal table processing remains solely the developer’s responsibility.

Sometimes certain processes has to be run at Application Server level and the results has to be used within SAP system.

There are situations when you need to run a report program and get its result list programmatically and display or process as you need.

I have had serious problems with continuously developing and deploying enhancements to web applications in CodeIgniter. The problem is that the deployment version has different set of configurations than the development version.

Windows Phone’s tile design is a haunting beauty to me. I never knew a layout of neat square boxes can impress me that much.

Most of us are good users of Sticky notes application of Windows which is quite a good tool for quick notes to remember.

Today, I got the chance to read the article Don’t Put Labels Inside Text Boxes (Unless You’re Luke W). In that article, Caroline tries to address the problem of using anything inside a text box.

Integrating two different applications in Web Dynpro ABAP is quite a challenging task. Most of the time we choose to integrate applications by making component usage of one component in another.

MongoDB is the fastest growing NoSQL database. Apart from the advantages of NoSQL technology, it’s JSON querying style, easy installation makes it more preferable.

Text symbols are one of the great and most used feature in ABAP. It is very helpful when it comes to internationalization of your application and also manages all your text at one place.

Creating customized menu for right click is always cool and creating such menu’s in Web Dynpro ABAP is quite easy. In this article we are going to see creating context menu for a TextEdit UI element which has to be filled with the text ‘Hello World’ on clicking an action in the menu.

Whenever we want to create a Table UI dynamically, we go to CREATE_TABLE_FROM_NODE method of CL_WD_DYNAMIC_TOOLS (see here. However in some cases we want the Table to be very much customized.

Many a time you come across a situation of creating a Table UI dynamically. Especially, when you want to create Table UI based on certain conditions which will be known only during the run time.

Few days ago I saw a link bearing the title ‘Monalisa using CSS3’ repeatedly in Facebook and Twitter. When I checked it out, I was totally impressed.

Google Maps integration with Web Dynpro ABAP is one of the most sought out thing. There are a lot of possible ways to this.

SAP Web Dynpro ABAP is an excellent tool to create huge data related applications easily and efficiently. However most of the time we create applications that has predefined screen design.

Few days back I wrote the blog Star Rating Display Component which can be used to show the average rating of an item.

Most of the time ratings are expressed in terms of stars, which is more appealing and easy to interpret. I came across a similar situation and I developed a reusable component to show star rating.

On May 9, 2012 the headlines were ‘58000+ Twitter username and passwords are leaked’. Twitter is one the most used social networks with 140 million active users.

From the early days I’m very much bothered about storing passwords in my application. After studying some cryptographic techniques I got some idea and I have been following them since then.

Twitter is the social network used very widely for promoting products, films, etc. It is loved by companies especially for marketing.

Internet seems to be the best innovation from human race. The architecture of the internet remains the same for decades, but the application and use of internet has got an unimaginable growth.

Web Dynpro has been provided with lots of tools to make the development easier. When we want to create applications in which UI elements has to be created dynamically and processed dynamically, we have to go a little deeper i.

Object Oriented Programming has been a boon to the programmers without which development of huge systems is almost impossible. ABAP is no exception to that which is why Object Oriented Programming was added to ABAP.

Timer is a very essential UI element in many applications and creating a timer in Web Dynpro ABAP seems to be a little critical task in the versions prior to NetWeaver 7.

Necessity is the mother of invention. Computer languages are not an exception to this rule. However, there are as many as 1600 different computer languages as they say.

As we have seen before, the power of bitwise operators are immense. Sometimes thinking in terms of arithmetical operators cost you lots of CPU time when compared to bitwise operators.

Most of us use numerous services available on the net such as mails, social networking services, and blogs. So it is obvious to have the question “Can a database administrator working on Facebook can get the password of my Facebook account if he wishes?

Twitter has been famous from two or three years ago. I had not had much idea about it till two weeks back.

When I started this blog, I wanted to write only about computer science but I really think that I have to express something that has been inside me for long and I think it’s the right time for that.

“There are 10 kind of people, One who knows Binary and the other who doesn’t.” In the earlier days when electronic computers was first built, inputs were given in binary using tapes and outputs were also obtained as binary.

I suddenly got an example that may help you remember the characteristics of AND, OR, NOT and XOR. Consider them as four different human individuals, with four different characteristics or behavior.

‘Bitwise operators’, as the name says they are indeed wise enough to do anything that a computer can do. In computer architecture, we would have studied how these ANDs, ORs and SHIFTs are used to do any mathematical operation.

First of all, I introduce myself to my fellow readers. I’m Fareez Ahamed, a person who was impressed by computers from when I was studying fifth standard (well children now are introduced to computers more early now-a-days than those days).
