SAP specialist is a rare profession that requires a wide range of technical knowledge together with soft skills. For a long time, self-study was hard to achieve because the SAP company rarely published information about its products. Today, everyone can easily find useful materials that will help them better understand ABAP, HANA and even install trial versions of systems on their computers to get the first experience. We have collected all the available information about SAP products and systems, SAP community, forums where developers and consultants exchange experience and help each other solve tasks.
