Description

Introduction
This advanced training dives deep into modern ABAP development for S/4HANA and SAP BTP, focusing on RAP-based application design, CDS view modeling, Fiori-driven user experiences, and cloud-first extensibility approaches. Participants gain hands-on expertise in architecting scalable, high-performance, and cloud-compliant ABAP solutions that leverage SAP BTP services, integration capabilities, and clean ABAP principles. The program is ideal for developers who want to transition from classic ABAP to next-generation ABAP Cloud and side-by-side extensions.

Prerequisites
• Strong understanding of ABAP fundamentals
• Working knowledge of CDS Views and OData
• Basic exposure to S/4HANA and Fiori architecture
• Familiarity with SAP BTP environments (recommended)
