About Course
In ABAP on HANA, the Virtual Data Model (VDM) provides a structured, semantic layer of business data built using Core Data Services (CDS) views. These CDS views can be directly exposed as OData services, enabling seamless consumption of business data by external applications and SAP Fiori apps through REST-based protocols.

Student Ratings & Reviews
Informative but could use more visuals, The content is strong, but some architecture diagrams or flowcharts would’ve made it easier to grasp the layered VDM model and OData flow.

Helped me get job-ready, After taking this course, I was able to speak confidently in interviews about CDS views, annotations, and OData service activation. It gave me a real edge.
Solid foundation with room to grow, Good foundational course on VDM and CDS. A few advanced topics like custom OData services and deep entity structures would be a great addition.
Perfect for SAP S/4HANA developers, If you're working on SAP S/4HANA and need to expose business logic via OData, this course is a must. It covered @OData.publish, annotations, and VDM layers thoroughly.
Needs more project-based learning, The course is informative, but I would have liked a capstone project or a real-world scenario walkthrough to solidify the learning.
Good content with helpful examples, The course covered everything from basic CDS views to complex consumption views. The section on annotations for UI and OData exposure was especially helpful.
Best course on CDS and OData I've taken, Hands down the most practical course on the subject. Now I understand how SAP structures its VDM layers and how to publish CDS views via OData — very useful for backend-to-UI5 integration.
Well-structured but a bit fast-paced, The course was well-organized with layered VDM approach and annotations. I wish there was a bit more time spent on debugging OData services.
Great for real-world SAP projects, Excellent content. The instructor connected CDS modeling and OData exposure perfectly. I used the knowledge directly in a client project!
Clear and practical explanation, This course explained VDM and CDS concepts very clearly. The hands-on example of exposing CDS views as OData services really helped me connect the theory with actual SAP Fiori development.
