A few weeks ago I had the chance to speak at SharePoint Saturday in New York. Weer, a tremendous event. Hierdie keer, I spoke about “learning SharePoint” – a very broad topic. During the presentation (wat jy hier kan kry), Ek het gepraat oor 'n verskeidenheid van tegnieke vir die "leer" SharePoint, insluitend dinge soos boek leer, klaskamer opleiding, skep jou eie VM en die belangrikste (vir my), community participation. One way to participate in the SharePoint community is via blogging. Someone asked me about blogging in particular and asked my opinion on a few concerns he had that I’ve heard others mention before. It’s been itching at the back of my head for a few weeks so in my usual fashion, Ek krap wat jeuk deur blog oor dit.

Sommige mense dink dat daar so baie kwaliteit bloggers daar buite op die toneel vandag en dat so baie kwaliteit blog inskrywings is geskryf dat in 'n sekere sin, there’s nothing new to write about. Of, the “new” thing is so narrowly focused that it’s not going to be interesting to anyone. I don’t agree with those sentiments or the underlying assumption about them.

Om mee te begin, as jy blog, want dit is deel van jou persoonlike poging om te leer SharePoint goed, it’s really irrelevant if someone has written on your topic or not. One of the drivers behind community participation, of dit nou vir persoonlike leer of nie, is dat jy nodig het om te kry dit reg. No one wants to put up some weak blog entry and look silly in front of the world. In the course of getting it right, jy gaan die onderwerp te dink deur middel van meer versigtig, ens.. Thus, jy dink, studeer en die oorweging van hierdie onderwerp uit alle soorte hoeke, links na regs, tot af, binne en buite (of ten minste het jy moet wees). That’s a very valuable exercise. In werklikheid, it’s almost beside the point of pushing the “post” button by the time you finish writing it since you’ve already derived much of the benefit by now. Natuurlik, jy wil die post knoppie in elk geval te stoot vir 'n verskeidenheid van redes, but I digress. The bottom line is that blogging is a valuable learning exercise in and of itself, tydperk.

I also reject the “it’s already been done” argument. So what if it was? The terrible consequence is that people who are looking up your topic via bing will now find two or five or a dozen articles. Who cares? I always prefer to find several articles on the same topic when I go searching the tubes for stuff. Different points of view, verskillende skryfstyle, different approaches to the same problem – they all help me understand what I need. In my opinion, die gemeenskap is nie waar naby aan die bereiking van 'n versadigingspunt op goeie gehalte blog artikels oor enige onderwerp in die SharePoint wêreld.

So, blog weg! You won’t hear me complaining about it. I guarantee it 🙂
