Create a New Development Project

Business Scenario

Your company is planning to develop a set of cloud-based applications based on the SAP Cloud Application Programming Model (CAP), and these applications will be deployed to SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) as extension applications for the SAP core back-end systems.

In this exercise, you will perform the following task: Create a new development project.

Now you can start the development of your application. First you will create a new project for your new application. Projects can be created from SAP Business Application Studio directly or, optionally, from the SAP Build Lobby. In this exercise, you will create the new project from SAP Business Application Studio directly.
