So I have been interested in learning ABAP (which is used in programming SAP core) but have no idea where to start. I have seen online tutorials, however, I don't have an available install of SAP to see how everything fits together. Does anybody know of any tools that are available that would allow me to learn ABAP and be able to see my code in action? (possibly an SAP emulator)

You can use the developer edition of SAP Netweaver. Transaction code SE80 will take you to the development environment where you can start writing ABAP.

Thanks Erik, that is great. I'll give it a look this weekend. – Jetti Feb 10 '11 at 2:45

What you're looking for is a program called "miniSAP" which is able to be installed on a local system and works with your developed ABAP code. I wasn't able to find any free versions through a brief Google stint, but there are at least a couple ABAP textbooks which have it included. Hope that helps.
