First post! new to SAP want to learn!

I am a Multimedia Developer and I would like to branch out by becoming a SAP Developer. I studied Business Information Systems at Uni and have a good grasp of the terms used in the Business Process Management world. I am confident that I can handle modelling techniques and get to grips with what clients really want and how they can achieve their objectives using clearly thought out strategies. I understand ABAP is the language tool used to develop SAP solutions but how does one take the first step into becoming a fully fledged Developer? What is there in terms of:

Training

Certification

Online tutorials

Simulations (problem solving and coding simulations)

I am hungry for knowledge!!
