Synopsis

If you are an experienced ABAP developer and want to benefit from component-based UI development using Web Dynpro ABAP, this book is exactly what you need to get started. With many examples designed to facilitate understanding, it covers topics such as the architecture of Web Dynpro, the most important UI elements, and standard components. Each chapter is structured such that you learn about the basic concepts first, and then apply these concepts via practical exercises accompanied by screenshots and sample code. Traditional topics such as using components, views, controllers, and contexts are discussed, as are the use of tables, value helps, and multi-component frameworks. In addition, useful functions such as context menus, input help, the Web Dynpro Debugger, and hotkeys, as well as the use of the Enhancement Framework, are covered. Architecture Become familiar with the basic architecture of Web Dynpro UIs, including the advantages and disadvantages they provide. Applications Learn about the development and usage of Web Dynpro applications, and how to program applications dynamically. Standard Components Explore the most frequently used Web Dynpro components, such as extended tables and POWER lists. Input Help Gain an understanding of input help, which is crucially important for reducing incorrect entries made by users.
