ABAP Objects: ABAP Programming in SAP NetWeaver Book/DVD Package

XP patches cause errors with the MBS GUI, so if your using an up to date version of XP you will have problems. The Java GUI could solve this, if it can be made to work.

This is a book straight out of SAP-Walldorf - and it comprehensively covers all of ABAP - with about half the book on the object oriented extensions. The language used is a bit awkward - and seems to have been translated from the original deutsch - but its still very understandable - if not a bit long winded. Having been coding ABAP for 10 years or so - I have developed some bad habits - and so I found reading the non object oriented sections pretty useful too. The info describing the way abap is processed is interesting as well - plus the object oriented part is a good starting point and also fairly comprehensive. Good coverage of dialog programming integrated with the new object oriented features too.
The mini-basis system on the cd's is just superb - and I have it installed on my laptop a full blown development environment- contains most basis SAP transactions, all abap transactions and most EDI and workflow - the book is definitely worth buying just for this alone. The only irritation being that you have to keep renewing the license with SAP - but they say its free to do this - just you have to visit their website every month - a bit of hassle - but well worthwhile.
Overall I think this is the best book on ABAP available - most of the others are looking pretty dated - this one and the one on control frameworks - that seems to be only available from the SAP shop - are the ones for me.

This book is the best book about ABAP. A well defined and structured contents with a simple approach which is used to explain the new ABAP Objects concept. But there is a need of prior knowledge of SAP and ABAP terminology for better understanding. The CDs contain almost all the major SAP Module which may be utilised for overall working knowledge and thorough practise.
