Often for the purpose of preparation candidates struggle to look for important topics and browse through some valuable concepts, they feel might be asked in an interview. Such a frantic search consumes a lot of time and energy, as it requires going through high volumes of ABAP technology. In order to solve this dilemma here is SAP ABAP/4 Interview Questions Book, which is well equipped to deal with such problems.

Organized around eight areas of SAP ABAP, this text covers materials needed to master an interview or properly evaluate a candidate. Key certification and interview topics have been updated for 2006. (Careers)

Use design patterns to step up your object-oriented ABAP game, starting with MVC Want to create objects only when needed? Call objects only when required, minimizing runtime and memory costs? Reduce errors and effort by only coding an object once? Future-proof your code with a flexible design? Design patterns are the answer With this guide, you'll get practical examples for every design pattern that will have you writing readable, flexible, and reusable code in no time Creational Design Patterns Create objects with the abstract factor, builder, factory, lazy initialization, multiton, prototype, and singleton design patterns Structural Design Patterns Allow objects to interact and work together without interdependency with the adapter, bridge, composite, data access object, decorator, fa ade, flyweight, property container, and proxy design patterns. Behavioral Design Patterns Increase the flexibility of your object communication with the chain of responsibility, command, mediator, memento, observer, servant, state, strategy, template method, and visitor design patterns. Highlights: MVC (model, view, controller) pattern Singleton pattern Factory pattern Builder pattern Observer pattern Visitor pattern Lazy initialization pattern Template method Strategy pattern Decorator pattern ABAP-specific examples Anti-patterns

SAP ABAP (Advanced Business Application Programming) offers a detailed tutorial on the numerous features of the core programming platform, used for development for the entire SAP software suite. SAP ABAP uses hands on business oriented use cases and a valuable dedicated e-resource to demonstrate the underlying advanced concepts of the OO ABAP environment and the SAP UI. SAP ABAP covers the latest version (NetWeaver 7.3 and SAP application programming release 6.0) of the platform for demonstrating the customization and implementation phases of the SAP software implementation. Void of theoretical treatments and preoccupation with language syntax, SAP ABAP is a comprehensive, practical one stop solution,which demonstrates and conveys the language’s commands and features through hands on examples. The accompanying e-resource is a take off point to the book. SAP ABAP works in tandem with the accompanying e-resource to create an interactive learning environment where the book provides a brief description and an overview of a specified feature/command, showing and discussing the corresponding code. At the reader's option, the user can utilize the accompanying e-resource, where a step-by-step guide to creating and running the feature’s object is available. The presentation of the features is scenario oriented, i.e. most of the features are demonstrated in terms of small business scenarios. The e-resource contains the scenario descriptions, screen shots, detailed screen cams and ABAP program source to enable the reader to create all objects related to the scenario and run/execute them. The underlying concepts of a feature/command are conveyed through execution of these hands-on programs. Further exercises to be performed independently by the reader are also proposed. The demonstration/illustration objects including the programs rely on some of the SAP application tables being populated, for example an IDES system which is now a de facto system for all SAP training related activities.

The first book to comprehensively cover the new object-oriented generation of SAP's programming language ABAP. Officially-approved guide and reference to a core SAP topic
