Introduction
The amount of information available about XI is impressive: SDN articles, the SAP Library documentation, course materials, eLearning, online forums, blogs etc. However, when you're first starting out as an XI developer, navigating the available information can be a daunting task. The "cheat sheet" below is aimed at new XI developers and is meant as a starting point in the world of XI. It gives you an overview of the most frequently used transactions and URLs. The list is by no means exhaustive; I suggest that you print it out, keep it by your PC and add to it as you learn new tools.
Have fun exploring XI!
