Best ABAP learning resource....

Hello,
I'm new to ABAP but not to object prientated programming.  I have the "ABAP Objects" book from which I'm trying to learn ABAP.
I'm finding it quite heavy going as there aren't many tutorials \ exercises to try out.  Does anyone know of any tutorials or exercises.
Or a book more suited to a beginer.

  • Best FCE Learning Resource?

    Hello FCE users,
    How did you learn to use FCE? I recently upgraded from iMovie 09 to FCE but am still scratching my head at its advanced interface and capabilities that I am not yet able to use. How did you learn to get to your current level of proficiency? Thanks a lot for your info!

    You could get going immediately (although it might be a bit late at night in Taiwan...) with:
    http://www.izzyvideo.com/learn-final-cut-express/
    I used it last year and found it VERY helpful. I even signed up and paid some money!
    When the shops open you could also get Tom Wolsky's "Final Cut Express 4 Editing Workshop".
    There are other resources too on the web and you can always ask specific questions here

  • Blend mode learning resource

    Has anyone come across a learning resource which employs a graphic approach to explain all the availble blending modes?

    This is also a great book on blend modes:

  • Need Report Builder Learning Resource -- Books, CDROM, etc.

    I'm a seasoned SW architect and I'm pretty good at learning stuff on my own. I need a resources for learning Oracle Report Builder. I did a few of the tutorials on the web but they do little more than take you thru the wizzards. They don't cover more advanced topics like reports with several linked queries.
    The only book I found dates from about 1999-2000 and covers Forms and Reports. Only about 20% of the book is Reports.
    http://www.amazon.com/Oracle-Developer-Advanced-Forms-Reports/dp/0072120487/sr=8-2/qid=1169213574/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2/103-6435048-1295048?ie=UTF8&s=books
    Anyone know how much the product has changed in six years? Would that be too out of date?
    There is an CD-ROM course from Oracle for $500. Anyone use that who can give a review?
    I know there's also a one week course from Oracle for $3K. I'm not that into sitting in class for a whole week if I don't have to.
    Anyone recommend any other learning resources?

    Try this URL
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/reports.html
    This has links for 10g, 9i, and 6i. Look for the PDF called
    "Building Reports" for the version you need. I just started learning Reports, and it is invaluable.

  • Learning resource

    Can anyone recommend a good learning resource for photshop scripting? Something other than the Adobe scripting JS reference guides or Java Script manuals. Ideally,  a course focused on Photoshop Scripting. 

    As no one else seems to have had anything particular to recommend maybe this book by Jeffrey Tranberry has a chapter of interest to offer.

  • Which book is best for learning Lightroom 5 for a complete beginner?

    I'm an Aperture user and as everyone has heard the news, a lot of us are considering switching over. I went through the Apple pro-training aperture, logic, and FCP books and loved the format of those. I've been reviewing my options for LR5 books on Amazon and I see a couple, Kelby, Evening, and The Adobe Classroom in a book. I kind of like the classroom in a book format as it resembles the Apple book's format. Which book is best for learning LR5, from a complete beginner's perspective?

    I would avoid Kelby like the plague. I didn't like his book, I felt his chapters on the Library module were effectively useless and off the mark.
    I would start with the free e-book Lightroom 5 - Free Quick Start Guide PDF eBook | The Lightroom Queen
    I would also watch some videos at Products | Lightroom | Adobe TV

    Apps for your iPod can only be found in the iTunes Store (aka App Store).
    I think you should explain whether you're looking for an app to help you save the battery life of your iPhone, or an app to help you save power in your home or office. You've gotten recommendations for one of each thus far.

  • What s best to learn after PI

    Hello Experts,
    I understand its not the best question to ask in a tech forum,
    but i was keen to know what will be the best modle to learn in SAP after PI.
    I have basic Java knowledge, good PI experience...
    so shold I go to portals?? BI??? or learn some ERP module...
    kindly advice,...
    Regards,
    Teja

    Hi Teja,
    -->Along with your current skills i feel its better to know about the PI installation and administration ( as suggested by Raja ) and along with that minimum knowledge of ABAP is also an added advantage.
    ---> CRM is also good to learn. I dont know the specific reason ) but i heard PI with CRM will be good.
    All the best

  • How Best to Learn HTML DB

    I have developed with Oracle Forms for 8 years and wanted to learn this new development tool. I built the Issue Tracker tutorial. Now, I keep running into roadblocks when developing my own application. Can you offer any resources to get me a start?

    Well firstly I'd suggest reading the (free) documentation, available on otn (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/htmldb/index.html).
    I'd also visit the HTMLDB Studio at -
    http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=18326:1:17605669481218133469::NO:::
    I'd also regularly scan this very forum, there's LOTS of good advice etc here.
    However the key way to learn I think is to try and make your own application.....I always tend to think it's only when you're faced with a brick wall that you learn new and interesting ways of getting past it!

  • Good SQL learning resource ?

    I often scan the discussion group articles because I always learn a lot from them.
    There are many constructs used in various SQL examples in this group that are totally foreign to me (because I am a novice).
    Can anyone recommend a book or location where I might become familiar with these advanced SQL concepts and how they are used.
    I am thinking of something with good examples so Oracle reference may not be satisfactory
    Thanks

    Hi,
    This might can help you.
    Buy Oracle 7.3 written by George Coch (X wise president of oracle corporation).
