These are the links that will help you a lot in gaining knowledge in SAP Netweaver.
Apart from that below here I have submitted some basic information related to that
1 Introduction:
SAP NetWeaver is SAP's integrated technology platform and is the technical foundation for all SAP applications since the SAP Business Suite. SAP NetWeaver is marketed as a service-oriented application and integration platform. SAP NetWeaver provides the development and runtime environment for SAP applications and can be used for custom development and integration with other applications and systems. SAP NetWeaver is built using open standards and industry de facto standards and can be extended with, and interoperate with, technologies such as Microsoft .NET, Sun Java EE, and IBM WebSphere.
2 SAP NetWeaver:
SAP NetWeaver's release is considered as a strategic move by SAP for driving enterprises to run their business on a single, integrated platform that includes both applications and technology. Industry analysts refer to this type of integrated platform offering as an "applistructure" (applications + infrastructure). It is widely held that this approach is driven by industry's need to lower IT costs through an enterprise architecture that is at once (1) more flexible; (2) better integrated with applications; (3) built on open standards to ensure future interoperability and broad integration; and, (4) provided by a vendor that is financially viable for the long term.SAP is fostering relationships with system integrators and independent software vendors, many of the latter becoming "Powered by SAP NetWeaver".
SAP NetWeaver is part of SAP's plan to transition to a more open, service-oriented architecture and to deliver the technical foundation of its applications on a single, integrated platform and common release cycle.NetWeaver is essentially the integrated stack of SAP technology products. The SAP Web Application Server (sometimes referred to as WebAS) is the runtime environment for the SAP applications .
The SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment 7.1 provides a toolset and runtime for developing, running, and efficiently managing composite applications using SAP's enterprise SOA. It builds upon proven technologies that have been enhanced and integrated to provide greater functionality and flexibility. Among them are:
SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio for service creation and provisioning
SAP NetWeaver Application Server for Java
Service Registry and repository for service management
Guided Procedures for process modeling
SAP NetWeaver Visual Composer for UI modeling
SAP Composite Application Framework for Java business object modeling and service abstraction.
3 Components Of SAP NetWeaver:
3.1 People Integration:
It brings functionality and information to people. On the people level, end users will settle for nothing less than a seamless user experience (in spite of the growing system diversity), boundless collaboration functionality, and pervasive access.

3.1.1 Multi-Channel Acess:
With multi-channel access, you can connect to enterprise systems through voice, mobile, or radio-frequency technology. Multi-channel access is delivered through Mobile Infrastructure.
3.1.2 portal:
This capability provides industry-leading portal technology that delivers unified, personalized, and role-based user access to your heterogeneous IT environment. Portal infrastructure is provided through SAP Enterprise Portal.
3.1.3 Collaboration:
Collaboration promotes dynamic communication within permanent and ad hoc teams or communities -- including shared e-mail, calendars, threaded discussions, and document stores.
3.2 Information Integration:
Information Integration makes both structured and unstructured information available in the enterprise in a consistent and accessible manner. Users demand ubiquitous access to information wherever it resides. That information must be served in a consistent manner and its integrity guaranteed.
3.2.1 Business intelligence:
This capability enables you to integrate, analyze, and disseminate relevant and timely information. It is delivered through SAP Business Intelligence, which provides a robust suite of business intelligence tools to help you create and deploy customized, interactive reports and applications, supporting decisions at every level.
3.2.2 Knowledge Management:
Knowledge management with user-centric services provides a single access point to SAP's content management system and third-party repositories with integrated search, taxonomy, classification, content management, publishing, and related workflow processes.
3.2.3 Master Data Management:
This capability promotes information integrity across a business network in a heterogeneous IT environment. It enables the sharing of harmonized master data formerly trapped in multiple systems and ensures cross-system data consistency -- regardless of system location or vendor. This capability is delivered through SAP Master Data Management.
3.3 Process Integration:
Process Integration enables business processes to run seamlessly across heterogeneous IT landscapes:The business processes that span systems and organizations have to be well orchestred and offer high performance.
3.3.1 Integration Broker:
This capability enables XML/SOAP-based communication between application components from various sources and vendors. It also enables you to define software components, interfaces, mappings, and content-based routing rules. This capability is delivered through SAP Exchange Infrastructure.
3.3.2 Business Process Management:
Business Process Management - With business process management, you can model and drive processes in a dynamic IT environment. It allows you to combine underlying applications into adaptive, end-to-end processes spanning the entire value chain.
3.4 Application Platform:
The application platform of SAP NetWeaver is the SAP Web Application Server. It provides a complete infrastructure to develop, deploy and run platform-independent, robust and scalable Web Services and business applications. To allow this flexibility, different technologies have been established.
3.4.1 J2EE:
This is the standard of developing multi-tier enterprise application based on Java. This standard has been defined by an open community, including SAP, and has been driven forward by
SUN Microsytems Inc.
3.4.2 ABAP:
ABAP has been developed for business application programming. One of its essential application areas is the processing of data from the central database. Many of the functions required for this are included in the language content and do not have to be programmed in ABAP itself.
3.4.3 DB and OS Abstraction:
It is a platform-independent and there is huge business value in not being dependent on a specific platform.
4 Solution Life-Cycle Management:
SAP NetWeaver provides centralized technology for all stages of the software life-cycle, including design, development, deployment, implementation, versioning, testing, and ongoing operations. Web Dynpro supports a model-driven development methodology for building professional Web user interfaces.
