Learning a New Skill Isn't As Hard As It Used to Be

Gaining proficiency in a new skill doesn’t have to be a major challenge. In this session, I review the step-by-step plan and approach I took to learn about ABAP core data services (CDS). These steps can be applied to master any new skill. Hear about the missteps I’ve had along the way (such as relying on older blog posts) and the importance of links, links, and more links.

Transitioning from ABAP Programmer to Developer

A common challenge faced by all ABAP programmers is learning about anything other than ABAP development tools. We eat, sleep, and repeat ABAP. Every SAP and non-SAP technology stack is evolving, and so should we. Make the move from ABAP programmer to developer for whom the language is just a way to express that art. We have come a long way from module pool programming to the Web Dynpro development environment and SAPUI5, so having a developer mind-set is super-important.
