Also be aware that just learning the programming language isn't enough to land you a job. ABAP is almost identical to open SQL. What makes the ABAP programmer different from other SQL programmers is his knowledge of SAP objects, how they grow, how they influence eachother, and most importantly, how NOT to make a join operation when you want to select data from two tables. This is because a simple system with almost o data in it will react much different from a system with 5-10 years of productive data from hundreds or even thousands of users. ALWAYS run your queries on a test system with a full data load, or program a test scenario/variant that you can run on the productive system without updating data.
