ABAP Beginner ...

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

Aspiring ABAPer here. Could any of you point me to some great tools and references that will help along the way of understanding the syntax and logic. I have a programming background in the standard OOP Languages (Java, C++), however I'm sure many of you know the syntax is completely different. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Meezy

hi

good

there is no such tool or reference which can help you to understand the syntax of sap, and as far as logic is concerned it is similar to the logic of java and c++,yes you can refer some of the online documents which can help you to give an overview of ABAP.
