Finally ...a PROVEN... Step-By-Step System To Build ABAP Skills And Turn It Into Sustainable Growing Career

(That Gives You More Freedom)

 

Ladislav Rydzyk - Head Instructor in ABAP Academy

Clearly, getting professional ABAP development skills, is something you really care about, and it’s a really smart decision you’ve made by spending the time to focus in on trying hard to master them.

Either if you want to get your job as an ABAP developer or you want to master ABAP to enhance your SAP skills to increase your value on the market, then keep reading, because this is something, what can be valuable for you to know.

Based on all the feedback I’ve received from the students before taking ABAP Academy StarterKit Online Training, the #1 bottleneck while learning programming online is applying learned programming principles into real life projects.

Let me explain, what I have learned about this issue, they are facing.

Most often, they went through a training where they learned syntax + programming principles. Even though they were watching an instructor implementing demo examples, many times the result was the following:

When they started to implement their own project, they suddenly started to struggle! They did not know,

  • how to apply the knowledge in specific situations
  • to be creative and come up with their own solutions
  • to solve issues by themselves

I will tell you what\'s the outcome of that survey just in a moment. Before I do that, I will start with one important story: 

How I learned ABAP and WHY you should know about that?

This reminds me my own story, when I was coding my first paid software ever, back in age of my college studies.

It was already more 10 years ago, in my dormitory room. The sun was shining and summer was already coming. I was wearing my old college T-shirt and I was sitting on the chair in front of my CRT monitor and PC running old good Windows XP, with installed SAP GUI, which was connected to a company network, where I was programming the software.

\"Working(on that picture I’m coding something else, but, this is basically how it looked like ;)) ->

I remember it like it was today. I was sitting there and I was totally lost and depressed, because I was not able to move forward, even though I knew all the syntax and principles from the training, I took few weeks ago. I did not know what I was going to do. Anything I tried, didn’t work, even Google was not helping. I knew I had to do something, but didn’t know exactly what. And that\'s how I literally wasted days of my time.

Then I decided to call the guy from company, where I was taking ABAP classes and scheduled one-on-one meeting with him. I started to ask questions and did not let him go, until I really understood. And that was totally something new for me, because I was not thought for many years at school to ask questions and clarify the knowledge (well, it may sound silly for you, but it was like that).

Long story short, I was used to do all the work by myself, just me and my trusty computer day after day. When I started to work in a job, I had the exact same attitude. I just put my head down and started to do everything all by myself without thinking for asking any help. And it\'s not that big disaster. I was able to move forward, but very slowly.

And today, when I work on any project, I make sure that I always have some expert on reach. And this is my procedure: when I get stuck, I take max. 15 minutes trying find the solution by myself, if it does not work I take another 15 minutes by googling for the solution. And when I don’t get the solution in half an hour, I ask somebody who has got great skills and can lead me to right direction in few minutes.

All in all, being a senior developer does not make you only from mastering ABAP syntax, creating own algorithms, or even creating software architecture all by yourself, but you should work on your personality as well and master your soft skills such as communication is.

How to build ABAP development skills 
- the right way

My name is Ladislav Rydzyk and I am SAP ABAP developer since 2006.

What I’ve been doing over last years of my career has involved designing and implementing SAP solutions. If you are new to this topic, you might not realize that customers of SAP are huge companies like Nestle, Coca Cola, Nike, .. And I am very glad that my codes are running in such world wide known huge company systems.

As a part of my daily job, I was mentoring newcomers to ABAP one-on-one and preparing them to become part of development teams as soon as possible.

Based on my development and mentoring skills, I have designed materials, which are split into single steps and lead ABAP newbies to help them become independent ABAP developers, by helping them avoid learning ‘The Nightmare Way’, but focusing on one single important topic at a time, based on their level.

How Conventional Way of Learning of ABAP Works?

What people usually do when they want to learn ABAP programming on their own, is that they either

  1. take their time and patiently search for information and learn by themselves
  2. they invest some money to learn it much faster

Here are the options that you have as well:

  • read BOOKS, BLOG ARTICLES, ..: depending on what source of information you get, but in general, it is the longest way how to learn ABAP.
  • watch practical YouTube VIDEOS: it is much better, because you see actual programming on the fly, but still, you will spend too much time watching such videos and you can end up being messed up, just because, many times YT channels do not have their instructional videos structured in the way, to lead ABAP programmers from their current level to to some reasonable end
  • take regular ONLINE TRAINING: this is even better, because you get
    • structured video tutorials (+ many times with additional learning materials)
    • sometimes you get access to some forum where you can ask questions
    • you see examples of how instructor implements project right in front of your eyes

But you know what? For most people, none of that works really well! What do I mean by that?

(ABAP Programming Skills (Hard Skills) + Soft Skills = Independent ABAP Developer)

Building a high-quality ABAP development skills, is the most powerful thing you can do to grow your ABAP development career.

If you are just starting or trying to move your existing development skills to the next level, a strong building hard skills along with soft skills is your golden ticket.

 

But how do you build ABAP development skills?

How newbies gain skills? (and how I was helping them)

One of the big parts of my daily work was to mentor new people coming to company or to specific projects and instructing them to become a valuable part of our development team in as short time as possible. They had to go through our internal “onboarding online training” with practical examples.

Guess what happened, when they had to implement their very first project. Many of them struggled. They did not know how to apply some learned concepts into their project.

Why is that? All of them had the same source of information, all of them took their time and they learned it in their own speed. Shouldn\'t all of them be on the same level?

Well the answer is quite simple: NO! This is general process of learning new things. And programming in ABAP is not the exception.

\"Bloom

Here is the explanation: Research done by educational psychologist Benjamin Bloom, published by American Educational Research Association, proved that the most efficient

teaching method is using one-on-one approach, rather than conventional instructional methods (for more information read the whole study here).

And this is the reason why ABAP Academy decided to offer one-on-one mentoring approach in all their trainings and we spend hours by consulting your issues, so that you can shorten your learning time as much as possible compared to conventional learning approach.

Personally, such approach helped me to boost my own skills to senior level programming approach. 

 


Introducing ABAP Academy Advanced Training Program

That\'s why I\'ve put together a step-by-step system to help you overcome each of these obstacles and ensure that you reach your goal of becoming independent ABAP developer* by June 30th, 2018.

* Notice: Independent ABAP Developer in certain level. You should be aware that you will have to learn during your whole ABAP career, to become better and better. Learning never stops in this area. However, it is possible to set your base skills (hard and soft skills) in the way that you will be able to work independently as much as possible.

ABAP Academy Advanced Training Program isn\'t just a training. It\'s a master class and coaching system designed to take you by the hand and teach you the principles and strategies needed to build a powerful ABAP skills that will open up you doors to become professional ABAP developer.

ABAP Academy is the professional online ABAP training platform, designed and reviewed by skilled SAP/ABAP experts with real life project implementation know-how. 

And to provide you accountability and support system you need:

  • Easy-to-follow lessons
  • Supportive community of ABAP students 
  • Built-in accountability
  • Personal mentoring with ABAP Academy Team

What will you learn in this training program?

This training covers three primary topics:

 

1. How to become Independent ABAP Developer?

Getting to independent development level sounds … big! Especially when you are just starting out, it sounds like an impossible large goal. 

In the ABAP Academy Advanced Training Program, you’ll learn systematically and incrementally build your hard skills along with soft skills. Each lecture will lead you toward that goal.

But (and here is the important part), me teaching you a bunch of theory and strategies won’t help you.

The key to reaching your goal is following a proven framework.

The ABAP Academy Advanced Training Program isn\'t just a collection of a bunch of technical lessons: it gives you the framework and sequencing of when you need to implement each programming principles to give you as fluent understanding of ABAP as possible.

Quick example ..

Internal tables. Everyone says you need to use them. And you do!\"\"

But you DON’T want to even think about internal tables until you understand fundamentals in ABAP. Why? Because most probably you will use them without truly understanding its big purpose and true value that brings to your implementations.
Most probably you would just start mixing internal tables with header lines, without headerlines, work areas, .. until you would start wondering, why are those things in there and when should I use them?

That’s why the training program is broken into 3 major phases. Each milestone has a list of technical skills you want to learn to truly understand each concept used within ABAP programs.

Your job is to execute these lessons in order. (No internal tables until you’re ready).

Here is what the big picture of the training program looks like:

2. What soft skills you need to master first to get competitive advantage?

One of the big problems is that even this area can get pretty overwhelming when realizing on what to focus first and how effectively learn those soft skills along with hard skills.

  • Should I focus on thinking as developer first?
  • Or rather build communication skills to really understand customer needs?
  • Should I even bother with thinking as team player? I guess I have time for developing this one, right? 
  • And what about my own talents? 
  • ...

And this is not the end of the list of what companies are looking for.

There are so many options. What a PAIN! Good news for you is that with this training program you can avoid all of that.

I\'m going to give you implementation projects, where you will train yourself and learn to build your soft skills naturally along the learning journey. You will go through my exact suggestions that I used for other my students. No spending months to realize, what is good for you to boost your learning process. 

As a ABAP Academy student, you\'ll have access to those projects where you will learn those important and very overlooked skills as well.

3. What hard skills you need to focus on and master it before you can move forward?

Here are technical topics (hard skills) that are covered in this training program.

  • 1
    SAP Ecosystem
    In this module you will learn about what SAP is, why it is on the market and how it is performing.

    You will learn about SAP architecture, SAP terminology and all needed things that will bring you into the topic, so that you will understand all the things you need to know as an ABAP developer.
  • 2
    ABAP Fundamentals
    This module contains all the topics from ABAP Academy StarterKit Online Training.
    You will learn how to create your library of help programs, which will make your life easier during any implementation project in the future and you will also implement your first ABAP project all by yourself.
  • 3
    Debugging Techniques
    Each implementation project takes some time. With knowing how to debug SAP software properly, you will be able to create and fine tune your programs much more effectively.

    In this module, you will learn how to use maximum potential of ABAP Debugger and to find issues in programs effectively.
  • 4
    Database Maintenance
    The heart of SAP is its central database, where everything is stored. And when I say everything, I mean everything. Seriously, even your source codes are stored in that central database. In this module you will learn:

       • how to create and maintain database tables
       • how to create and maintain all the objects that are part of them. You will also learn when it is sufficient to create each object and why. Here is the list of objects, we will cover in the training:
         - primary and foreign keys
         - data elements
         - domains
         - structures
         - views
         - includes
         - appends
         - search helps
         - lock objects
       • maintain data in database
         - how to create data in database tables
         - how to create database views upon multiple database tables
  • 5
    OpenSQL in ABAP
    Once you will master fundamentals in ABAP and you will understand how database tables and all its objects cooperate with each other, then you will learn how to access and maintain data in database, directly from your ABAP programs.

    SAP allows you to use several approaches to access content in database. You will learn all of them, because all of them are used all over the entire SAP system in ABAP programs.
    However, you will also learn differences in each approach, its positive and negative impact on your developed software. At the end, you will know, when it is sufficient to use which approach.
  • 6
    Customer Interaction within ABAP Programs
    Many times you will need to provide to end users some kind of interface, which allows them to change the behavior of your programs by providing their own specific input or even expected output values. You will also learn how to properly announce users on what is happening in your programs.

    At the end you will be able to provide the best user experience possible in ABAP programs.

    In this module you will learn about:
    • selection screens
    • variants
    • messages
    • search helps
    • authorizations
  • 7
    Performance Optimization
    ABAP has already more than 40 years. And of course, programming techniques and approaches has changed a lot since that time. The problem is, you will find wrong and good approaches to programming for the same solution.
    Some approaches are good for some specific implementations and some of them are even obsolete, but SAP keeps them still available just because codes need to stay backward compatible.

    In this module you will learn syntax, which allows you to create optimized code for performance.
    You will also learn how to measure and analyze performance of your software so that you will be able to fine tune your programs and boost their performance to maximum possible speed.
  • 8
    Techniques for Readability, Maintainability and Stability of ABAP Programs
    It is critical for you to learn how to create readable and maintainable code in order to keep your software easy to maintain for future customer change requests or to easily handover your code to your team.

    I will reveal my know-how from real implementations and explain you tips and tricks for making your code readable, maintanable and stable. In this case, subroutines will be very handful. They help you keep your code clean and predictable.
    ABAP offers more ways of creating subroutines. In this module you will learn to create all of them. You will also learn when and why it is sufficient to use each ones.
  • 9
    Dynamic Programming Techniques
    In this module, you will learn about dynamic programming approaches and possibilities of what you can do in ABAP.

    Why is this so important? Sometimes, your programs will have to decide in runtime, what variables and what database tables to use in order to fulfill its tasks.

    Even sometimes, you might get much more complicated task, where you will not be able to use even dynamic approach. I will show you "hacks" to solve almost any dynamic issue in ABAP.

    This module will show you practical approaches which you can easily copy and paste to your future projects.
  • 10
    ALV Reporting
    Till this level you would already have knowledge of creating standard output in SAP environment.
    However, SAP offers richer output possibilities for displaying data from database tables. One of the popular approaches is to use ALV output. It allows you to create output, which enables end users to easily browse through the data.

    In this module, you will learn about several possible approaches to display data on the screen. We will focus mainly on implementation of one exact and widely used approach to create ALV reports.

    At the end of this module, you will be able to create your own customer friendly data output on the screen.
  • 11
    Dialog Programming
    Often times, your programs will have to provide several screens with different data and logic on each screen. This makes your output logically structured in smaller and readable chunks. Creation of screens (or dynpros) with their screen flow logic is coded in ABAP using so called Dialog Programming.

    Dialog Programming is a huge and complex topic, suitable for completely separate training.

    I took a look at projects where I was involved and at the end, I picked the most relevant parts, which kept repeating again and again in each project, where Dialog Programming was required.

    In this module, you will learn the most relevant parts in this area, so that you will be able to create your own screen flow logic and provide to customer readable output.

    You will also see, what is possible to create using Dialog Programming, so that you will be able to design your own solution. And much more important, you will learn, where you can find inspiration or pre-coded solutions for your projects.
  • 12
    Delivery to Customer
    Implementation does not end when you are done with programming.

    You need to properly:
    • package source codes and all the objects
    • test your created software
    • do the last check ups to make sure that your code will be delivered to your customer without any problems
    • deliver it to your customer (in this case it’s going to be ABAP Academy ;))
    • present your solution to the customer
  • Project Implementations

Throughout the whole training you will learn how to code, while you will watch me implementing projects.

Throughout the training you will implement several milestone projects:

  • Initial Fundamental Skills in ABAP
  • Analyzing and Digging Inside of ABAP Programs, using Debugger 
  • Car Store Database Setup Project 
  • Customer Interaction Project
  • Performance Optimization Project on Hundreds of Thousands of Records in Database
  • Dynamic database table project 
  • .. and much more 

At the end of the training, you will implement final project called NSA blacklist (this is the project based on my first paid software in ABAP ever) 

Here you will learn and practice exact steps for successful project implementation from getting specification to your hand, all the way through design, implementation, testing and shipping to customer.

ABAP Academy Advanced Training Content Detailed Content - for better readability, you can download or view image here.

.. and what about Enhancements, BADIs, SAP Scripts, Smartforms, BAPIs, BDC, ... ?

Good question. But asking too soon.

To build very strong base as ABAP developer with real development skills, independent thinking as developer, right programming habits, valued communication skills + behaving and developing as real team player, you need to master firstly hard skills which you will learn in this training program.

These programming skills are very important in any real project implementation. 

Once you will master them, then you can focus on building other hard skills using different technologies within SAP. 

In all the technologies like Enhancements, Smartforms, BDCs, ... you will use ABAP as a programming language. If you will already have mastered ABAP, you will be easily able to jump and understand other topics, closely related to ABAP as well. 

As always, you want to focus on one important step at a time. 

And in this situation, it is building strong ABAP base (hard skills + soft skills), so that later you can continue with additional learning of development technologies within SAP environment.

And the best part, you will be able to do it all by yourself from your home!

Here is what actual students are saying about this training program.

And notice that there are both groups:

  • total newbies to ABAP programming (which for some of them it “boosted their way for getting to ABAP development” and got them their first ABAP junior job position)
  • ABAP-ers with working experiences
"If I had a mentor like Ladislav when I made my first steps in ABAP, my life would be much easier and I would be a much better coder and I would develop my coding skills on a much higher level right from the beginning. I spent so much time on solving "easy things"​, because I had nobody to help me out.
In my opinion, the role of a mentor is priceless (if a mentor is good, and Ladislav is a good mentor BTW :) ). A good mentor can save you an incredible amount of time and pain on the road to achieve your goals. Everything looks easy in ABAP - when you know how to do it ;) ... but when you don't - it looks like it is impossible to do it and when there is not so much information about what you need to do it's a real nightmare!
Ladislav is a good man, a good friend, and a good teacher. I've met many good programmers in my life so far, but there are not many of them which are capable of transferring their knowledge to other people."

„It was a great opportunity to learn ABAP this way. This form of studying is innovative and definitely not boring like reading books. I felt motivated while going through lectures and I really enjoyed specific steps, how you reach my goals“
ABAP StarterKit Online Training is a great way to start with ABAP without any previous ABAP knowledge and/or skills.
After enrolling in the course, I jumped into (for me) absolutely new programming environment, watched video materials, wrote down notes and tried my own short basic programs. When I got stuck or needed any tips, I got advices from Laco, the ABAP guru. He was always very helpful what I found very encouraging. My motivation to take this course was to learn something new and widen my chances of starting a fresh new career and this course fulfilled my expectations. Right now after going through ABAP Academy advanced learning program, I am very excited from being hired to my very first ABAP job starting from January 2018.
“During this training I found what I wanted in this training program, the academic methodology.
All videos were in a good quality, language very understandable and the examples and explanations were also easy to understand with practical tips to practice.
Since I am not a beginner in ABAP I liked the organization of Laco during programming, really it's academic methodology. "
„I learned fundamentals of ABAP programming fast, because the way of learning in ABAP Academy is unique. I have learned best ABAP naming conventions and ways to solve problems similar to real projects. In one word - this course is best way to begin your career as ABAPer. I highly recommend it.

How much does it cost?

Does ABAP Academy Teaching Methodology work for anybody?

Let’s face it. There is never “one size fits all” solution for anything. And there are different reasons why even this training would not be suitable for you as well.

Just one example, which I hear the most. Not sure why, but many people still believe that they can master some topic only from watching training videos, even expensive ones. Sounds silly, yes? Unfortunately it’s so true. Let me tell you this.

NOBODY has ever become an expert in anything just from reading books or watching videos. Believe me, real experts were trying hard many times and for a long time.

So if somebody is looking for a magic formula that will provide experience with no effort, then this is not right training to take.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much money do junior ABAP developers earn?

Well, it really depends on your geographical location. However the rule is the following. You will obviously earn much more in the US and EU, than anywhere else. This is the reason why countries like US, Germany, Switzerland and other strong economic countries move their development centres to different locations with lower income rate.

That’s something we can’t do anything about it. This is how economics works.

But here are some tips on how to come up with at least some approximate number of what your value will be on the market in your country:

Do I get certificate after the training, which I can put into my CV?

Personally, I don’t believe in certificates, I believe in skills. Despite of this, I understand the reason why they exist.

So the answer is “Yes, you will receive the certificate after the training”, BUT you will receive it only when you will be able to implement project all by yourself, because then I see that you really mastered the topic.

If I successfully finish the training, will you be able to find a job for me?

This is my future plan to be able to help you this way as well, because when I will see that you successfully finished the training and all the implementations, I will be not ashamed to contact you with your possible future employer. However I can’t promise anything to you right now.

Currently ABAP Academy can connect you to companies looking for junior ABAP developers in the following countries:
- Germany
- Switzerland
- Slovakia
- Czech Republic


Depending on market demand and your skills, ABAP Academy may be able to offer you job offer.

Can I afford this right now?

At the end of the day that's a question you have to answer.

However, I can tell you that the strategies in this course will make from you valuable person on the market. Regardless of your geographical location, you will be able to ask for more money on hiring interview, than total beginner in this area, because you will already have experiences from implementing real projects already. And you will be able to prove it very easily.

All in all, investing in yourself is the best investment, which you can make, because it will bring you many times higher return of investment in the future and nobody will be able to take it back from you!

The pricing model is specifically designed to enable potential students to get started without breaking the bank ;).

There is even another possibility. Instead of one flat fee for the entire course, you can choose monthly payments as well. This makes it more affordable.

If you are just starting out and funds are tight, this package should help you. If you are out of US and EU market, and you see that this pricing model does not fit your geographical location potential and you really want to take this training, just let me know at ladislav.rydzyk@abapacademy.com and we together may come up with something that works for both sides ;).

Will this course continue to be updated? And will I get free access to future versions?

Yes! This will be the flagship ABAP Academy product and it will be updated on a regular basis. Once you are enrolled, all future versions are free at no cost.

I am really busy. I have full time job and family. Am I really going to make it and not get overwhelmed?

The course itself is being designed for people exactly like you are.

Whenever unpredictable events will come to your daily schedule, you can move your learning activity to different time. You can even postpone it for longer period of time. You will always have access to learning materials and to the community, so whenever you will need to ask question they will be there for you at any time + access to your mentor for your code review mentoring session is not limited to specific time as well.

And one more thing. Most often, people in your situation have problem to do things, which they would really love to do. Why? Just because they think, that once they master some area and earn well money from there (e.g. they are experts in technical consulting), they would lose, if they move to different topic.

The truth is, that you lose, if you don’t move forward, because your life is not only about earning money, but also about enjoying. And if you see that you would enjoy your life somewhere else, then I definitely encourage you to do so!

But at the end, you will have to make strong decision to take your time and start learning.
And for that, I will do my best to ramp up your professional skills as soon as possible to lead you to that direction.

How much time will this take?

Great question!

The course itself is being designed for people having to go through in about 1-2 hours per day. Moving this speed, you should be independently code in ABAP with help of this training program in about 2 months.

As far as implementation, that depends on your experience level, skill set and how quick you learn.

How often SHOULD I work on it?

See above. The more you work the faster you go.

If you're looking for a lazy way to get professional skills, this isn't the course for you.

But if you're willing to work HARD and follow a proven plan, you will gain senior level development skills much faster.

Now it\'s up to you.

However if you will give me your time and hard work, I will teach you senior level approach on how to create ABAP software and help you achieve your goals.

Are you ready to build your professional ABAP skills and reach your personal personal goals?
