Welcome to the starting point !
So ... ready for the ride ! I have prepared this section to provide you the necessary information, resources and the tutorial to get started in SAP ... with focus on ABAP as you already know. The tutorial here assumes you are completely new to SAP, but even if you have prior knowledge or experienced SAP consultant, there are pieces of general information about SAP and ABAP which can be of interest to you.
You will also agree that it is a good idea to know about the background of SAP company first. Yes, SAP ERP package derives its name from the company which produced it. So let us start here with the background and a brief history of SAP.
If you are a beginner and want to learn SAP or want to assess SAP before making an informed career decision, I have developed this tutorial for you highlighting the various aspects like getting SAP access, good SAP ABAP book and online resources. Though this SAP tutorial is written for SAP ABAP, it is recommended for beginners of all SAP modules to judge the scheme of things in overall SAP.
ABAP is a powerful business programming language and once you start using it, you will understand what do I mean. The downside - it is SAP platform specific and proprietary language. But that's really not a downside since once an enterprise running on SAP, most of its data is available in SAP database and therefore, the best way to access it and modify it is through ABAP programming. Let me take you to a quick tour of ABAP Basics .
A few very important resources on the internet. |
