For many years, creating software applications in the SAP ecosystem was a headache; however, Fiori applications have changed the game when it comes to developing enterprise business applications that are simple to develop and meet complex rules across the enterprise. With their initial release over seven years ago and their fast adoption by many customers, Fiori applications are continuing to gain popularity due to Fioris delightful UX and proven capabilities. Many customers focus on application integration, application and data security, ease of use, business adoption, and features that are offered by other modern, high-quality, and competitive frameworks. SAP Fiori stands tall among its peers and offers a world-class framework to create similar products. This book walks you through the journey of designing, collaborating, developing, testing, and deploying Fiori applications to on-premise and cloud environments. Various IDE tools are showcased to inform the reader of the many available ways to develop, extend, test, and enhance Fiori applications. By the end of the book, the reader will have been informed of all the phases, tools, and features and will have completed a sample Fiori application developed in the SAP Web IDE and deployed to the SAP HANA XSA environments on-premise and also to the AWS Cloud Platform.

Chapter provides an explanation of what SAP Fiori applications are and it presents the five design principles for Fiori applications.
