Hi,

You dont need Java experience. You said that you have webdynpro experience, thats more than enough to code either in ABAP or in JAVA. if you are building Clients in SAP ( for handheld or for Laptops)

You can use the link that Vinodh has added which will guide you all along. It has tutorials for both Laptops as well as Handhelds which will guide you step by step how to code.

Also Clients in SAP are built using Mobile Webdynpro which uses java but that you can use any java sites.

Hi Sahil,

You could start learning SAP NW Mobile(DOE) by going throught the following links,

Lastly, Java is not compulsory. SAP ships a default client which is in Java. But you can also build your own client using any programming languages of your choice.
