Course Overview
The SAP S4D401 Intermediate ABAP Programming course is designed for developers, development consultants, and technology consultants who aim to advance their ABAP coding skills within the SAP ecosystem. This instructor-led training builds directly on foundational knowledge from S4D400 and prepares learners for the SAP Certified Associate - Backend Developer - ABAP Cloud certification (exam code C_TS4C_2402). Participants will deepen their expertise in code analysis, performance optimization, and robust programming techniques essential for modern SAP S/4HANA and SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) environments.

This course emphasizes hands-on learning using SAP's official tools and platforms, including ABAP Development Tools (ADT) in Eclipse, ABAP Test Cockpit (ATC), ABAP Unit, SQL Trace, and ABAP Profiling. Students work directly in the SAP BTP, ABAP environment, where they build and optimize real-world applications by implementing code pushdown in ABAP SQL, refining internal table performance with secondary keys, and applying object-oriented design patterns. A key lab project involves analyzing and refactoring inefficient legacy code to meet modern performance standards using static and runtime analysis tools. Learners also implement authorization checks, exception handling, and comprehensive documentation in alignment with SAP best practices, ensuring their solutions are secure, maintainable, and scalable.
