ABAP/4
ABAP/4 for Not Yet Techies

You may be an expert in C or regular ABAP but obviously in the future chances are good you will have to write a program that interacts with an ABAP Objects or C++ or Java or Ruby or Python or Smalltalk or one of many up and coming new languages -- all of which are object oriented.
