TechEd 2005 Actionable Info
Whenever I attend a technical conference I come away with more books to read.
The following books are on my reading list:
mySAP ERP ESA Edition for Dummies by Andreas Vogel
NetWeaver for Dummies by Dan Woods
SAP Exchange Infrastructure by Jens Stumpe and Joachim Orb
I am not usually a fan of “Dummies” books but I have read most of the first book and it is pretty good. I had lunch with Dan Woods at TechEd and he naturally recommended his book. I read one of his other books so I’ll give his NetWeaver book a shot. I think it would be helpful if the writers of SAP materials would read Frederick Brooks’ Mythical Man-Month.
ABAP Programming
The most important thing I need to do as ABAP programmer is to change my thinking. Every program should be thought of in terms of “How do I write this code in a way that it can be called from an external system”? One example is error handling. BAPIs have a standard methodology using a return table (BAPIRETURN) to store error messages. Every program should use this methodology. Another technique is to employ the usage of function modules and BAPIs instead of subroutines. As an old COBOL programmer I tend to think in terms of subroutines.

Great blog! I'll give it a bookmark. I think you have what it takes. I have a auto loan, site. If a auto loan strikes your interest, and related stuff, come take a peak if you get a chance!
Just thought I'd let you know about a site where you can make over $800 a month in extra income. Go to this site MAKE MONEY NOW and put in your zip code..... up will pop several places where you can get paid to secret shop, take surveys, etc. It's free. I found several and I live in a small town!
