I am not good at programming but wanted to make a career in SAP. SAP counselor said that being a fresher it is extremely difficult to find a job in other modules and ABAP is the only option for me, but she said that programming is not that hard in ABAP, only have to remember ABAP dictionaries and rest is not that hard btwn one of my friend said that one cannot learn ABAP without having knowledge in C++ or .Net and there will be some OOPS concepts that need to be learnt before learning ABAP. Are the concepts not taught in ABAP. Plz state your opinion. I am not good programmer but a hard worker

Hi Dude,

Don't worry, no people born as genius.

1. ABAP is a nice programming language and you can start learning ABAP by yourself too, but you need someone at very first stage.

2. ABAP is also having OOPs concept, it is not that much hard to understand.

3. If you knew any other programming language then it would be much easy to go with ABAP, means if you know one programming language then other programming language would be easy to learn, because concept wise all programming language same, only syntax would vary.

So, all the best.

Notes:- I have heard "Hard Work Never Fails"

Moved to career centre.

If you are no good at programming, then don't do ABAP. A bad programmer costs something like 50x more than a good programmer, because they write programs that are hard to maintain, and need a lot of fixing.

However, I have to say that your friend is talking rubbish. You do not need c++ or .net to program ABAP. You just need to know how to program.

I can tell you that many many people work in SAP without knowing the first thing about programming or ABAP. So either the advice from your career advisor is very country specific, or she's not in possession of all of the facts.
