Example like SAP Fiori, Personas, CRM, C4C, HANA etc.

Please guide me.

Good Morning,

if you mean by ABAP even "ABAP OO", then I would recommend you to have a look at SAPUI5 (JavaScript, JQuery library, HTML, CSS, Fiori-Guidlines), Webservices and SAP Gateway.

I wish you good luck. 🙂

I'm working as ABAP/BI consultant for 2 year, it's not so much experience but i will tell you opinion from my own perspective.

It depends on your previous knowledge and passion. for ex.if you interested in Mobile applications you may start learning SAP Mobile Platform development and you will use your ABAP skills as backend development using SAP Gateway and ODATA webservice.

If you are interested in Data analysis you may start learning BW and you will use your ABAP skills in extractor and data manipulation but have to study another concepts like data warehouse concept.

And of course HANA is next big thing from SAP so you should start learn it's concepts if you are going to develop non native applications on HANA using ABAP or not. "you will find HANA very interesting topic as overview".

and there is plenty of courses about all of these topic on openSAP | Enterprise MOOCs: Learn anywhere, anytime and on any device! as overview and how to get access as a developer.

After Basic ABAP, proceed to ABAP Advanced

I mean ABAP is very broad. Better to be knowledgeable in RICEFW before proceeding to other system.
