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. This unique approach allows readers to view the entire process of design, development, and testing - right through the eyes of a developer. 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.
I knew both Rich and Thomas at Vegas TechEd 07. Of course, I read the book first -;) Even when I'm an experience Senior Abaper with more than 6 years in the business...I learned a lot from this book...With a nice "story" style, this books leads you easily and nicely through the paths of new ABAP Development paradigm. Highly recommended!
