Object-Oriented Programming with ABAP Objects

ABAPers, get on the cutting edge of object-oriented programming for ABAP! Start by mastering the ABAP Objects syntax and then walk through object encapsulation, initialization, inheritance, and polymorphism. Dive into case studies that demonstrate object-oriented programming in real-world scenarios, from consuming services with SAP BTP, ABAP environment to modeling behavior with the ABAP RESTful application programming model. Get expert tips, downloadable code examples, and best practices!

• Make the move from procedural to object-oriented programming
• Learn to use encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, and more
• Work with ABAP Objects in the ABAP RESTful application programming model and the SAP BTP ABAP environment

Working with ABAP Objects
Explore the benefits of object-oriented programming over classic procedural code. Get ABAP Class Builder and ABAP Development Tools up and running, and then learn the ABAP Objects syntax to build your first object-oriented program.

Basic to Advanced Object-Oriented Programming
Create flexible and reusable code with ABAP Objects. Combine data and behavior through encapsulation, initialize and clean up objects, implement inheritance and polymorphism techniques, and more.

Modern Development Scenarios
Apply your skills with real-world case studies! Work with SAP Business Technology Platform, the ABAP RESTful application programming model, and the Business Object Processing Framework to tackle today’s programming challenges.
