JavaScript for ABAP Developers

I am thrilled to announce that the book I wrote on JavaScript, in partnership with SAP PRESS, is officially on sale now👨🏼‍💻📚!! It’s essentially a list of everything I wish I knew when I first started out with this incredibly powerful programming language as an ABAP dev. The best way to learn is by doing and this book was written as a purely practical guide to get you writing and executing useful JavaScript code right from chapter one.

If you're looking to build front-end applications using technologies like SAPUI5 then you will need a good practical understanding of core JavaScript principles, which is what this book is all about. There is already a fantastic book on UI5 development SAPUI5, The Comprehensive Guide and as UI5 is a JavaScript framework it is crucial that you master JavaScript to get the most out of your UI5 applications.

In the book I cover a wide range of JavaScript topics including:

• Variables


• Operators and loops


• Functions


• External libraries like jQuery


• The DOM


• Classes


• Old vs modern syntax


• Error handling and debugging

It’s a great primer if you want to expand your skills into front-end development on top of your SAP/ABAP knowledge.

You can read the full blog post here and if you're interested in purchasing my new book you can do so here.

Thanks for reading 🙂
