This book shows advanced ABAP programmers new concepts, technologies, techniques, and functions that have been introduced to ABAP (Release 7.0) in the last few years. Based on a single real-world example that runs throughout the book - a university upgrading from SAP R/3 4.6C to SAP NetWeaver 2004s - you'll follow along with the university's lead ABAP developer as he develops a custom course booking system.

You'll quickly familiarize yourself with all of the new possibilities in ABAP while discovering a series of actual scenarios that could easily be encountered in a real-life project. In certain areas the author also provides you with a glimpse towards upcoming ABAP releases, as well as references to former releases, as required.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best ABAP book ever! Great attention to detail!, February 21, 2009

I bought this book on the advice of a consultant I've known for many years. He told me about the flow of the book, how it reads more like a story than a dry technical book, and how the examples do really enable you to take your ABAP skills to the next level! This book is definitely the best programming book I've ever seen. Buy, and enjoy!

I read this book cover-to-cover and thoroughly enjoyed it. These guys did a great job of organizing a ton of new generation technology available on the ABAP stack. I highly recommend this to any ABAP developer looking to update their skills.

This review is from: Next Generation ABAP Development (Hardcover)

This is a great book!
Not to much details, but still enough to have a good understanding.
It gave me a boost start in ABAP software development.
The topics are just the ones, that I needed for my development.
With this book, I started the development of Sjamayee4SAP and I don't know yet where and how this will end.
