Hi

I have 4 years experience in JAVA/J2EE. But I am planning to switch my career now to SAP. I am planning for doing course in SAP ABAP.

Please anyone suggest me if SAP ABAP would be a right choice. And how is the demand in SAP ABAP at present.

Can I explore myself in SAP ABAP at this point.

Best Regards

Ranjan

Just out of curiosity - why switch to SAP in the first place?

Yes, if you are good at programming, then yes ABAP is the way to go. But please remember that while searching for jobs you will still be considered a fresher - in ABAP. You JAVA background has very little - if not zero - significance when it comes to experience.

Of course you can go ahead and explore the ABAP world. You can download the trial version from the site and start pulling a few levers to see if you are comfortable.

If you could use something more general, not necessarily Java related:

I hope this will help you ask more specific questions.
