Learn how to develop in ABAP using SAP BTP ABAP Environment

[julieplummer20]

 

 

SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) ABAP Environment (known as "Steampunk") lets you use your ABAP know-how to develop and run ABAP applications in the cloud. In particular, you need to become familiar with the ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model (RAP). RAP is essential: It enables you to build OData-based SAP Fiori UI services and Web APIs that are cloud and enterprise-ready and SAP HANA-optimized - whether starting from scratch, or reusing existing code.

To help you  get up to speed as an ABAP developer, we have created three new badges:

• Create an SAP BTP, ABAP Environment Trial User - Single taster tutorial, to get you started with your ABAP Environment instance; requires no previous experience


• Create and Expose a CDS-Based Data Model - Beginner scenario: Get started creating development objects in the Cloud, using the ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model (RAP)


• Level Up with SAP BTP, ABAP Environment - Beyond complete beginner. Covers a variety of skills:
  
  
  
  • Develop a SAP Fiori application using ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model (RAP)
  
  
  • Create business configuration UIs, again using RAP.
  
  
  • Create and fill a database table in the ABAP Environment, work with an ABAP class, and work with ABAP Data Dictionary objects
  
  
  • Move your ABAP source code using abapGit

If you have completed all these badges, you will be able to develop in ABAP in the Cloud and will be ready to step up to the intermediate level.

We also hope to release a new, intermediate badge in the near future.
