SAP ABAP (Advanced Business Application Programming) sits at the heart of every major SAP ERP system running today. As the global SAP ecosystem shifts to S/4HANA Cloud and SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP), the role of an ABAP developer has moved from maintaining legacy code toward engineering cloud-ready, upgrade-safe business solutions.
At kodestree, our certified trainer has created this course in two layers. The first covers classic ABAP – the language fundamentals, internal tables, reporting, modularization, and enhancement techniques that still run the majority of live SAP systems today and that every ABAP Cloud developer needs as a foundation. The second layer builds on that foundation with the modern, cloud-facing skills SAP is actively hiring for: RAP, CDS views, OData services, Fiori Elements, Clean Core extensibility, and AI-assisted development with SAP Joule.
