UI5 NewsCast 032 Creating UI5 Tooling

The UI5 Tooling is a open and modular toolchain designed for
developing state-of-the-art web applications based on the UI5
framework. Since its introduction a few years ago, it has become an
indispensable part of UI5 app development. To gain deeper insights
into this project, we have the honor of speaking with the
architects of UI5 Tooling, Merlin Beutlberger and Matthias Osswald.
Both have been involved with UI5 for many years, with Matthias even
starting his SAP career in UI5 framework development. They have
been instrumental in shaping the UI5 Tooling project right from its
inception. We begin by discussing how they became UI5 framework
developers. We then delve into the history of UI5 development
tools, exploring the driving forces behind starting the project and
the decision to make it open source. Additionally, they shed light
on the barriers and restrictions that make this project
particularly challenging. Finally, we gain some insights into what
lies ahead for UI5 Tooling.
