Frequently asked questions
This course is designed for developers, consultants, and IT professionals who want to build hands-on expertise in SAP S/4HANA. Prior knowledge of ABAP programming is helpful but not mandatory, as the course starts with structured introductions before progressing into advanced CDS, OData, and Fiori app development.
By the end of the course, you’ll be able to design and implement CDS views, expose them securely as OData services, and create SAP Fiori Elements applications using Business Application Studio. You will also gain practical knowledge of annotations, role-based security, and app deployment on the SAP Fiori Launchpad.
Basic understanding of databases and programming concepts will be beneficial. Familiarity with SAP navigation or ABAP Development Tools (ADT) is an advantage but not required, since the course includes guided, hands-on lessons from fundamentals to advanced levels.
