Update on consulting offering 01/2022

Dear customers,

as of January 2022, I assumed a new full-time role.

This situation does not allow for further consulting engagements for SAP-related products.

Books #

Author	Title/Link	Note	Date
Jeremy KunA	Programmer’s Introduction to Mathematics https://pimbook.org/	Heard about his book in a Hanselminutes podacast. Rather expensive (AUD 80) for a medium sized paper back. Interesting approach of having example programs to show case mathematical concepts. Github repo is available.	10.02.2019

About

Sat, 14 Oct 2017 01:14:20 +0000

This is a blog containing my writings on SAP HANA, databases, SQL, software development, and whatever else comes to my mind.

Quick author introduction:

Lars Breddemann (that’s a double- d and double- n), German/Australian living in Melbourne, Australia, with roots in Wuppertal, Germany and Vienna, Austria.
I began working with HANA before it was publicly released in 2011 and continued to do so up until the end of 2021.
Richard Bremer and I have written the first SAP HANA Administration book published by SAP Press in 2014. Writing it was an intense experience and the book, albeit about a niche technology topic, received rather good reviews.
Once an SAP employee, SCN Moderator, SAP Mentor/ SAP Technology Ambassador, and SAP HANA Distinguished Engineer (programs now defunct or changed direction).
For a long time, I was a regular contributor to SAP HANA Q&A forums (StackOverflow, SAP Community).
Currently working for Tableau/Salesforce.

You can also find me on Bluesky and LinkedIn.
