Introduction to Application Programming on SAP S/4HANA

Introduction to Application Programming on SAP S/4HANA develops practical capability in introductory application programming on SAP S/4HANA using ABAP development tools, language foundations, data access, CDS, object orientation, services, testing, and clean-core practices.

Learners progress through SAP S/4HANA Development Architecture, ABAP Development Tools, Packages, Transports, Repository Objects, and Debugging; ABAP Syntax, Data Types, Internal Tables, Modularization, Exceptions, and Object-Oriented Foundations; Open SQL, Data Dictionary, Core Data Services, Associations, Annotations, and Authorization Checks; Application Services, Business Logic, Testing, Performance, Code Quality, Clean Core, and Deployment, connecting SAP behavior with business decisions, controls, and reviewable evidence.

The learning journey follows a new SAP developer building a small, supportable application that reads business data and exposes controlled functionality and produces a practical S/4HANA application programming exercise and code-review portfolio for implementation and operational use.
