ABAP's object-oriented concepts let you develop flexible, self-contained software, completely independent of standard SAP applications. But doing so is challenging, even for experienced software architects. This book addresses this issue by showing you, in a hands-on, step-by-step manner, how to successfully navigate the development process with ABAP Objects. First, uncover the requirements critical for designing application systems, and how to model the application object. Then, you'll benefit from expert guidance on the application system in general, including how to split an application into packages, define dependencies, and develop interfaces. Finally, with the authors' help, you'll tackle the greatest challenge of them all: implementing the application layer. GUI programming, SAP Business Partner, and special application programming techniques are also carefully explained in detail. Complete with chapters on information acquisition and managing development projects, this comprehensive programming guide is a must for every serious ABAP developer.
