Recently I have been doing some OO ABAP in ECC and found it quite a pleasant experience. I have enrolled in a course for CDS views. I want to know if there is anything I need to brush up before the course. Any help/advise is appreciated. Thanking you.</P> <P>Jyothsna</P> Sun, 11 Dec 2022 17:53:26 GMT https://community.sap.com/t5/application-development-and-automation-discussions/cds-views-course-help/m-p/12727645#M2020214 jyothsna1234 2022-12-11T17:53:26Z https://community.sap.com/t5/application-development-and-automation-discussions/cds-views-course-help/m-p/12727646#M2020215 <P>This is probably too late but I don't believe you need any special knowledge to take a CDS course.
