ABAP OO:Optimization Rules Manual

Former Member — Fri, 12 Jan 2007 23:26:37 GMT

Hi Guys,

I have a few month programming in ABAP OO, but I feel that sometimes the code of the programs can be improved. Anybody knows if there's a manual for optimization in OO, or a Manual that shows you the right path that we must follow in order to take the advantages of the OO development.?

Regards,

Eric

Hello Eric

If you apply all the principles of OO-design and programming then you are on the right track. These principles include:

- using design patterns (recommend reading: "Design Patterns" of the HeadFirst

- refactoring (e.g. "Refactoring. Improving the Design of Existing Code.: Improving the Design of Existing Code", Addison-Wesley)

- "Domain-Driven Design. Tackling Complexity in the Heart of Software", Addison-Wesley

Uwe

Hi Uwe,

I already start reading the Refactoring book and gave a quick look to the Design Patterns book and they are just what i needed to improve my OO code. The last one i haven't found it yet, but i'm gonna be looking for it.

Thanks again for your recommendation.

Regards,

Eric

Hello Eric, Hello Uwe,

in general I agree to this statement. But it is to mention that ABAP is hybrid language which has extra strengths not covered by general OO patterns. Especially when going for performance internal tables can not replaced by a pure OO paradigm.

PS: The Houston design Patterns are another good Resource
