Straight forward ABAP (without OO parts) will see it's role slowly getting less and less.</P><P></P><P>So my advice would be: Learn Java (at least do a beginners training with it) and learn all about ABAP Objects. You will be ready for the future.</P><P></P><P>Regrads,</P><P>Rob.</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 20 Oct 2004 12:01:51 GMT https://community.sap.com/t5/application-development-and-automation-discussions/is-it-worth-learning-java/m-p/770603#M38221 Former Member 2004-10-20T12:01:51Z Re: Is it worth learning JAVA? https://community.sap.com/t5/application-development-and-automation-discussions/is-it-worth-learning-java/m-p/770604#M38222 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi Steve</P><P></P><P>Here is a previous discussion close to this topic:</P><P></P><P><A class="jive_macro jive_macro_thread" href="https://community.sap.com/" __jive_macro_name="thread" modifiedtitle="true" __default_attr="17640"></A></P><P></P><P>*--Serdar</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 20 Oct 2004 17:32:10 GMT https://community.sap.com/t5/application-development-and-automation-discussions/is-it-worth-learning-java/m-p/770604#M38222 ssimsekler 2004-10-20T17:32:10Z
