and the least costly .i am a self taught JEE Developer any advice would be appreciated.
 
line by line with regular coffee breaks. You can do it cheaper by not having the coffee...
 
SAP programming. Brace yourself. I suppose it's simple enough once you get into it. But it's a rickety beast.
 
Still not entirely sure what gnubian was asking really... does he want some kind of course information suggestion or does he want to pay someone to program something for them? *shrug*

With vague questions like that I'm sure it's going to be an uphill struggle at best with whatever he chooses to do :)

I want to be a developer on the SAP platform and i was interested in gaining information about resources and courses that i might undertake in order to do so.I was able to enter the JEE development courtesy of the Open Source resources whilst SAP is a different beast .Please advise guys

Well M$ technology isn't open resource either but I was able to pick it up and learn myself. That besides the point, you should be more specific with your question: "Whats the easist way to do SAP programming and the least costly?" won't get you far, but if you asked, "Which courses are the best to do if I want to venture into SAP programming, NB, cheaper the better as long as it's a quality certificate that will be recognized" it would have got you even better answers.

I'm going to give you the same advice I give all my juniors when they start out and can't find a solution to a problem... "You're not asking the right question, so Google (or others) won't give you the right answers"

So you're essentially looking at doing ABAP development? I dunno, SAP is getting kinda old...

Care to substantiate that?

@gnubian ... Saying "I want to programme for SAP" is like saying "I want to visit the USA" ... yes, but which part?
"SAP" is the company & it has numerous product lines under it's umbrella. ... Just like Microsoft, IBM, Oracle, etc ...

I personally support SAP BPC 5.1 MS & SAP BOJ PC 7.0 MS which are MS SQL, MS Office based BI tools ... and I don't need any specialized SAP knowledge at all. MS SQL/MS AS/MS Excel do me fine. My "programming" is typically in T-SQL, MDX, C# & VBA. ... All solidly MS technologies.

The popular SAP stable of products run on NetWeaver, a unified platform that most of their modules plug into ... if that's what you're talking about, then yes, you can use your JEE skills, but you'd still need a whole new suite of knowledge ... and SAP training is very expensive.

I was at the SAP TechEd in Berlin last year & found I didn't even speak the same language as most of the other SAP people. (and I'm not talking about German vs English! :D)

So before you even think about training ... learn about the company & products ... a good place to start might be The SAP Developer Network ... that's where the actual programmers hang out.

... Or you can just switch to a cheaper coffee brand....

Also Important: You should stay away from Nestle coffee machines... they charge R2.50/cup and it is in effect only half a decent cup of coffee... and at the end of the month, you have a R4000 coffee bill...

btw, it might SOUND it, but I wasn't trying to be condescending or sarcastic when I told you that it's important to ask the right questions to receive the right answers. Good luck
