About SAP d-code ( Sourced from : http://www.sapd-codechina.com/2014/en/index/home.html )

In 2014, for the first time, SAP TechEd has been transformed to a “new event” – SAP d-code. It is the place for developers, designers, IT architects, administrators and students to connect. Get new ideas from industry visionaries and experts. Learn how to use new technologies to create advanced apps and user experiences.

With 300+ hours of educational sessions covering hot topics such as the SAP HANA Platform, SAP Fiori, Cloud, and Big Data, SAP d-code builds on the extensive training and education curriculum that was the hallmark of the former SAP TechEd Conference, and introduces new experiences for innovation and problem solving.

Here you’ll be able to dig deep to “decode” the thinking, needs with thousands of SAP partners, developers and customers. You’ll be able to take that insight and collaborate with SAP developers. And the result will be an open field for you to develop new ideas and innovative applications – figuring out what to build and how to build it.
