Project Blogging - the idea

"There is nothing mysterious about the effective, high- powered programming techniques used by expert programmers. In the day-to-day rush of grinding out the latest project, however, few experts take the time to share what they have learned. Consequently, programmers may have difficulty finding a good source of programming information" - from Code Complete, by Steven C. McConnell

This applies to "Project blogging" too and equally to every profession that exists on the globe. That's why the saying "Sharing is caring!"
