Mastering CDS Views in SAP ABAP on HANA

Image
  Three years ago, I was a confident classic ABAP developer with eight years of experience. I knew SELECT statements, internal tables, and BAPIs inside out. Then a client asked me a single question that changed everything:   “Can you optimise this report? It takes four hours to run.” That one question sent me down a path that completely transformed my career — and my salary. This is the honest story of what switching to SAP ABAP on HANA actually looks like from the inside. My Wake-Up Call: When Classic ABAP Was Not Enough I remember opening that report’s code for the first time. It was textbook classic ABAP — nested loops, SELECT inside a loop, massive internal tables being built record by record. The developer who wrote it was not incompetent.

Let me be honest with you. When I first heard “ABAP is dying,” I almost believed it. Then I looked at the job market. The migration pipeline. The salaries. And I changed my mind completely.

That gap is your opportunity. Senior ABAP on HANA consultants are commanding premium rates — and that’s not changing anytime soon. 3. You’re Learning a Completely New Way to Code HANA isn’t just a faster database. It’s a ...

Right now, 3.5 million cloud jobs are sitting unfilled globally — and employers are desperate for Azure-skilled talent. You do not need a computer science degree. You do not need to know how to code. You need a plan, 90 days of focus, and this guide. Cloud computing  is not the future of work anymore. It is the present. Every bank, hospital, retailer, and government department is running on cloud infrastructure — and most of them are running on Microsoft Azure. That demand has created one of the most accessible, highest-paying career on-ramps in the technology industry. The question is, where exactly do you start? I made my first Azure deployment seven years ago from a laptop in a rented flat with no formal CS background. Today I architect enterprise cloud systems for Fortune 500 clients. In this post I am going to give you the honest, no-fluff roadmap I wish I had on day one. Why Microsoft Azure is the smartest platform to start on The numbers do not lie Azure holds 24% of the gl...
