I started working with ABAP eight years ago...long time for some, very short for others. Of course, I didn't start my career by doing ABAP development...I started learning programming 11 years ago...when I was 20. I started with Visual Basic 6.0 and C++.
Sometimes I wonder...what would happened if I never got the option to start working using SAP? I would be programming of course...but surely on .NET or even PHP.
It might seem a little bit odd that I haven't mention Ruby, but believe it or not...I learned Ruby just because of ABAP...When I read Piers Harding blog Binding other programming languages to ABAP I just knew I wanted to learn Ruby. Same thing happend with Flex, after reading Matthias Zeller blog Engaging User Interfaces with Adobe Flex.
So, SAP had changed my life in many ways. I have learned new programming languages, have meet a lot of friends...I couldn't never have made two trips to TechEd right? If I were working using .NET or PHP...what could motivate me to attend a TechEd?Nothing I guess...
So...the big question is "What about you?" What you will be doing right now if you haven't get the chance to work using SAP?
