Abapers do lot of hard work to learn new things and gets exposure to various functional areas all the time..however they don't get enough credit being backend guys ...especially in Support world .I believe credit or functional guys build strong careers with Abaper help ... please comment your opinions..agreed or not agreed
Dear Santu - It will be wrong to say that others build strong careers with ABAPer help. It is a Team Effort. Yes, we work hard and do the dirty work.. Functionals also have their share of dirty work to do. The only thing we lack is, we stay out of lime light. We do not talk about the work we do and we accomplished in the right forum. And it is the case with most ABAP Developers. We just want to deliver the objects or resolve the incident. We do not work towards participating in the discussions where we can highlight our achievements. Mind you, most CEO are backend developers. 😍😍 So there is light at the end of the tunnel. ❤❤ Raju.
@@ZAPYard thanks for your reply . Some how my experience says that ABAP Developer is expected to keep on updating technicals and learn all functional areas .

Hello Raju. ZAPyard is a platform I have been frequenting on a day to day basis to help me in my work. I think you do a brilliant job for all the SAP consultants out there. The same goes for your LinkedIn posts, which are simple and informative. Look forward to a learning session on ODATA soon. However, UI5 and FIORI is still scary. Not sure if that’s my cup of tea. Would love to learn that too.
Thank you Sourav for your support. I think we can give a skip to SAPUI5, but as developers we should know little bit of Fiori as to how to find and implement and activate the standard Fiori apps. And we should know how to develop fiori elements app using CDS.. Fiori Elements, I think ABAP Developers can do. Please keep visiting. Raju.
Thank you NagaRaju for going through this video and the other one. 😊 Thank you for your support and encouragement. Yes, bread and butter for us. 😍😍 Raju.
That's an awesome video Raju..kudos to you and thanks a lot for showing the exact learning path for ABAP developer One suggestion from my side to add ABAP Programming model for FIORI using CDS and BOPF before jumping to RAP.It will create a strong base to learn RAP
Thank you Prabhjot. True. Even though SAP is trying to sunset BOPF, but looks like, it will stay for little longer than expected. It should be included. Raju.
The main problem with ABAP developer is that, if he is working on CDS Views and Odata for 2 years continues, suddenly one requirement comes on WRICF then it's fees like hell and people expect to do so as well within the deadline, it's really difficult to do so.
Hi Raju, just an opinion from my end. Don't you think that the new 7.4 syntax SAP has come up with is not really needed. It's not like the performance is improved or anything, but just that the code is shortened and hundreds of brackets have come into picture which makes it very difficult to actually debug/understand. ABAP itself is vast like the Pacific and on top of that learning the new syntax puts additional pressure on ABAPers. Moreover, we cannot ignore it in case we need to debug someone else's code.
Very well articulated @Manish. Agree. The new syntax looks fancy and closer to the other programming language. But debugging it is a challenge in many cases. And the irony is, we cannot ignore it like we did OOPs. 😊. Hopefully with practice and usage, we will start accepting it and even like it in future. 😍😍 Raju.
If you learn new syntaxes, you'll be able to work on BTP and ABAP Cloud, which actually don't support all old abap statements I think. Not sure about the correct terminologies because SAP just renames stuff so frequently.
Hi sir, I have experience of 1 year in SAP basis support, as a fresher I only did daily monitoring and prepared reports. My skill-set include html, css, javascript, python, aws fundamentals(coursera certiification). As a fresher will be advisable to pursue a career as an ABAP developer? If possible , please suggest a learning path/learning sources. Thank you !!
I would like to add to the list. At least that is true for German projects: following Clean Code and ABAP best practices (DSAG guidelines), Unit testing(TDD), using only Eclipse as an IDE and of course using the new syntax(7.4, 7.5+). But I am not agree that ABAP is a useful skillset for freshers. For freshers I would like to advice to learn more modern technologies like BTP, JS, microservices etc.
Thank you Narender. You have been supporting us a lot. Ya, coming on camera is a frightening experience. But finally took the leap of faith and did this one. 😜 Raju.
Thank you @A K. It took lots of courage to show up in camera.. 😜😜 Now planning to make videos with camera on always. 😊😊 Thank you for stopping by and watching the video. Please keep visiting and sharing. Raju.
Thank you so much Rajesh. Glad you took time to go through this video. Needed lots of courage to show the face in the video.. :D .. Backend developers always prefer to stay in the backend. Coming to front end is a challenge. :P Raju.
Please share the zap yard links to cover all these 7 topics to learn ... At least collate and give for topics 4, 5 and 7 please. Would be really grateful and much appreciated
Great video and wonderful information . This is highly recommended. Can you also post a video or the best link to learn the ABAP 7.4 code declarations. There are many threads or sites but would like to get one from you/zap yard. Thank you for your wonderful work and knowledge sharing.
Sir I'm currently learning abap and I find it very interesting..I'm a BA political science student..Will the companies shortlist me in spite of my non-technical degree if i have required skills?Thank you

Dear @imvision - Just start appearing for interviews for freshers role. We cannot learn everything. You need to start looking for openings where they are open for freshers or trainer freshers. Do not wait to perfect something. That will never happen. Just get some project experience soon. Keep apply and appearing the interviews. All the Best. Team ZAPYard.
@@ZAPYard sure sir, But companies are don't consider me as fresher as I am 2015 passed out. Not single call, or shortlisted by company since 3 months. So what to do ? Please provide your guidance
1) ricefw
2) OOABAP
3) SAP OData Services
4) ABAP 7.4+ (New Syntax)
5) ABAP on HANA - CDS,VDM,AMDP,SQL Script
6) Restful Application programming(RAP)
