Best ABAP learning resource....

[Former Member]

Hello,

I'm new to ABAP but not to object prientated programming. I have the "ABAP Objects" book from which I'm trying to learn ABAP.

I'm finding it quite heavy going as there aren't many tutorials \ exercises to try out. Does anyone know of any tutorials or exercises.

Or a book more suited to a beginer.

Hi Simon,

Look here: http://www.sapgenie.com/abap/OO/

before dealing with abap-OO you should

deal with SAP-controls (esp. alv-grid)

sources:

1) transaction SE38-environment-reuse library-controls

2) se38-find: search-item : BCALV

3) Serdar's Tutorial

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/documents/a1-8-4/an easy reference for ole automation.pdf

-> i think, it's an easy introduction to OO

I don't know if I would list it as the best... but the following is a link to ABAP 640 Delta training.

/people/thomas.jung3/blog/2005/05/15/abap-46c-to-640-delta-training

It is delta so it assumes you have some basic ABAP skills and it focuses only on the newer Netweaver technologies in ABAP. However there are quite a few exercises included in the downloadable package once you are ready for them.

Hi Simon,

The online help is quite a useful resource, plus it's very comprehensive. You can take a look at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2004/helpdata/en/ce/b518b6513611d194a50000e8353423/content.htm (which is for the Netweaver release), but if you check your own online help, you will find it in the ABAP Programming (BC-ABA) section.

Remember that ABAP is traditionally a procedural language, and as such, much of the programming is still procedural. Also, there is quite a lot to know about the ABAP Development Platform, quite a few other concepts to grasp aside from object oriented ABAP (such as Dynpros, the Dictionary, the Repository concept, just to name a few). If you look under ABAP Programming (BC-ABA), you will probably get a better overview of what is involved.

Cheers,

Martin
