Does anybody know a good place to learn about ABAP's OO functionality?

Hi Matthew
There are two major ways to learn ABAP OO.
1. The book that Mark mentioned about:
"ABAP Objects The Official Reference"
A comprehensive guide to all ABAP language elements
by Horst Keller & Joachim Jacobitz
--> You can find more info from
http://www.sap-press.com/H958.html
--> The miniWAS demo system is a good opportunity for hands-on experience
--> The older version "ABAP Objects: Introduction to Programming SAP Applications"
by Horst Keller, Sascha Kruger may also be OK
2. SAP Educations offered by SAP or SAP Education Partners
--> There are various classes. There are some supplementary documents and of course hands-on experience
--> With the old code 'BC404', but now '402' as I remember, there has been a course especially on ABAP OO; <i>"Object-oriented Programming in R/3"</i>

Hi Matthew,
Others SDN members will point you to the help.sap.com section for ABAP Objects and other great resources to ABAP OO.
In general you may want to check the ABAP Topic within the SDN Weblogs: https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/weblogs.sdn?blog=/weblogs/topic/29
There have been many created in that area. I especially recommend the one from Horst Keller: /people/horst.keller/blog/2004/07/16/did-abap-objects-fail-as-a-whole
Who by the way wrote an excellent ABAP book that you can buy.
Hope that helps, Mark.

Hi Matthew,
You are thanking a poster for his answer.
Please next time also give him points.
See: /people/mark.finnern/blog/2004/08/10/spread-the-love
This time I did it for you.
Remember: When you ask a question you also assume the responsibility to assign points.
Please check your other questions and if the answers were good. Spread the love and give some points.
Thanks in advance, Mark.

I have another question. I am trying to code a program with classes and I use the classbuilder, but I want to do it without the GUI's help. I want to have a window like how you code a report and hard code it all myself. Is there something I am missing?
Thanks again.

Hi Matthew,
Please if you have a new question create a new thread. That way you can give points for the people that help you with your question and others can find the question answer pair a lot easier.
So please post your question again here in the ABAP forum.
Everyone is happy, Mark.
