Description

Introduction
This training provides a complete foundation for developing and extending applications using ABAP on S/4HANA and SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP). Participants learn how to build modern, scalable, and cloud-ready solutions using ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model (RAP), Core Data Services (CDS), in-app and side-by-side extensibility, and SAP BTP services. The program focuses on hands-on development, cloud integration patterns, and best practices for leveraging ABAP in both on-premise and cloud environments.

Prerequisites
• Basic understanding of SAP ABAP
• Familiarity with S/4HANA concepts
• Knowledge of SAP Fiori (recommended)
• Awareness of cloud technologies (optional but helpful)
