Next Generation ABAP Development, w. CD-ROM, English edition

This book shows advanced ABAP programmers new concepts, technologies, techniques, and functions that have been introduced to the ABAP in the last few years. Based on a single real-world example that runs throughout the book - a university upgrading from SAP R/3 4.6C to SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) - you'll follow along with the university's lead ABAP developer as he develops a custom course booking system. This unique approach allows readers to view the entire process of design, development, and testing - right through the eyes of a developer. You'll quickly familiarize yourself with all of the new possibilities in ABAP while discovering a series of actual scenarios that could easily be encountered in a real-life project. In certain areas the authors also provide you with a glimpse towards upcoming ABAP releases, as well as references to former releases, as required.
