SAP Nerds !

Thursday, December 11, 2008















Dear Folks,
I just wanted to thank everyone for their relentless contributions and questions which has made this site pretty useful in learning SAP. As we get deeper in this insane recession I think we need to collaborate and learn more and focus less on all the worries. with that said, I will try to post some beginners course materials which will help some folks who are starting a new career or redefining their interest and hopefully turn out to be bigger nerds in the field of SAP.
We hit a massive 22,000 hits in the past 6 months; including 8320 first time visitors, 4 dedicated companies, and users from 18 different countries who have given their feedback on maintaining this site.

thank you so much.....
