Hi Pradeep,

Since you are a java developer, it would be good for you to take something which requires Java knowledge as a prerequisite.

SAP Enterprise Portal is a good choice, SAP mobile infrastructure is another one which requires java knowledge. WebDynpro development also requires java. All the above come with the Netweaver Sneak preview Java edition which is available free in SDN. So getting the sw is not a problem.

Learning it using the tutorials is pretty easy and if you write the certification, you should be all set to go into the market.

Hope this helps. Please remember to award points if this was useful.

Hi Pradeep,

I suggested the components in Netweaver suite which require Java knowledge becuase you already have java experience. You do not have to learn ABAP in order to get into SAP development.

Enterprise portal is a separate product. You need to learn how to develop components for EP. You will be using java to program these components. You do not need to learn XI or R/3 or BW in order to develop components in EP.
