The Godfather Part II. Led Zeppelin II. Web 2.0. You’re not working from scratch. You can innovate inside the constraints of what has come before. Coppola found the Mafia story he wanted to tell. Zeppelin toured and found their sound. The internet moved away from static websites to dynamic, user-generated content. Updates are fresh, revitalizing, and important for longevity. All of this remains true for the SAP Fiori 2.0 design concept (the next stage for UX throughout SAP) and the second edition of our bestselling SAP Fiori Implementation and Development guide. Inside this updated edition, SAP Fiori ace Anil Bavaraju has dispensed the implementa- tion and development information you need to know, including step-by-step instruc- tions and screenshots.
