Blag’s best blogs picks from 2010
I started bloggin on SCN back on February 17, 2006. My first blog was Tasting the mix of PHP and SAP. Since that day I have wrote 120 blogs.
I have wrote about ABAP, HR, SCN and Scripting Languages…but my most rewarding blogs started on 2007, when I started to read all the blogs written in a year and gather them inside a blog.

Best, as always,

Greetings,

Nice collection! Especially the ABAP part 🙂

And what can I say? I'm an ABAP psycho -:P
Greetings,
Blag.

I'm observing that the percentage of blogs posted by SAP Mentors seems pretty high but I'm also happy to find in the list a lot of other very smart guys.
just kidding "I think for the first time Thomas Jung is missing in the list, I cannot believe about that. Have you argued with him?"
happy Xmas Blag!
thanks for your effort; I'm really proud to be in this list!
Cheers,
Ivan
