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.

You can check the past editions here:
