First Steps in ABAP Development Tools

In this section, you will learn how to get started with ABAP Development Tools. In the first video, you will learn about ABAP perspective and how to create an ABAP project.

We will now create a small ABAP application that includes both an ABAP program and a class. The class will contain two methods, CREATE and RUN, which we will implement step by step. Finally, we will make the program runnable, and complete the process by saving, checking, and activating it.

In the video below, you will see a demonstration of creating and testing an ABAP application.
