Practise ABAP syntax, internal tables, classes, exceptions and database access with small, tested programs.
Build CDS views and an API or business object. Learn RAP, authorisations and Fiori/OData integration for the target stack.
Diagnose correctness and performance using debugging and traces. Explain released APIs, clean-core constraints and transport practices.
Publish a sanitised code sample, unit tests and design notes. Be ready to compare classic ABAP and ABAP Cloud restrictions.
