In die middel van Julie, Ek het aangebied om 'n kans om te skrywer twee hoofstukke vir Brendon Schwartz en Matt Ranlett op-komende boek, Maatskaplike Computing met Microsoft SharePoint 2007: Implementering van aansoeke vir SharePoint samewerking en interaksie in die onderneming in staat te stel om. (Ek dink hulle het probeer om 'n lengte wedstryd met die titel te wen; Ek dink hulle gewen het). I jumped on the opportunity and now, uiteindelik, die hele boek gedoen word, aankoms by die winkels in Februarie.
Soos SharePoint verval, publishers have begun to produce a new wave of books. This book is part of that wave. This wave builds upon the previous round of technical reference manuals explaining core features and functions and begins to describe how to use those features and functions to deliver business value in a very non-superficial way. I’m not saying that is anything superficial about reference manuals or their value. In werklikheid, a book like this on Social Computing probably couldn’t have been written a year ago. (Letterlik, Natuurlik is dit geskryf kon gewees het, maar ek dink nie die groter gemeenskap sou gewees het gereed vir dit). The new wave of books tends to assume the reader basically understands core features and instead describes how to use those core features in interesting new ways.
Soos die titel sê duidelik, this is a book about Social Computing. Social Computing is a subject ripe for discussion and exploration and indeed, the discussion is well underway among early adopters. Many companies are now quite comfortable with document libraries, inhoud tipes, soek, basiese workflow, ens.. Having implemented and mastered these bread and butter features, they are ready for the next level. This book offers insights and strategies to do that and thereby, ontgin nuwe en interessante geleenthede dat Social Computing bring aan die wêreld.
Sosiale Computing is 'n groot en veranderende onderwerp en dek 'n baie af te, insluitende blogs, wikis, social tagging, soek, interaktiewe media, mash-ups, "Mense," and other socially-oriented "stuff." SharePoint has a very strong story to tell in this arena and now, teen hierdie tyd in die Internet & SharePoint geskiedenis, is the time to tell it. All things being equal between companies, those that successfully leverage Social Computing will outpace and outgrow those that do not. The train is getting ready to leave the station and you don’t want to miss it! This book is your ticket for a seat on that train 🙂
Bottom line, this is a blog entry pitching the book. It’s due out in February. Pre-order it here: Maatskaplike Computing met Microsoft SharePoint 2007: Implementering van aansoeke vir SharePoint samewerking en interaksie in die onderneming in staat te stel om.
(Volle openbaarmaking — daar is geen koninklikes geld vir my in dit as jy kies om die boek te koop, so dit is nie 'n poging om my spaarrekening n hupstoot te gee, wat as dit verkoop baie goed,, dit sal help om my ego, wat wil altyd meer, meer, meer!)
Tersyde, maar baie belangrik eenkant, Ek dank Bob Fox for connecting me with Brendon. And naturally, Ek dank Brendon en Matt vir die neem van 'n kans op 'n newbie soos ek en laat my skrywer hoofstukke in hul baie belangrike boek!
