OData Fundamentals: From Theory to Practice

OData is the query language you will meet on every SuccessFactors, S/4HANA and Integration Suite project. This course builds the model in your head first: entity types, entity sets, complex types, associations and navigation properties. Then it puts a live test service in Postman so you can run the CRUD operations and query options yourself, across five short demos that go from $metadata to filtering, sorting and writing data back.
