I lár mhí Iúil, Tairgeadh mé an deis chun údar dá chaibidil le Brendon Schwartz ar agus Matt Ranlett ar leabhar suas le teacht, Ríomhaireacht Sóisialta le Microsoft SharePoint 2007: Iarratais cur chun feidhme do SharePoint Comhoibriú agus Idirghníomhú sa Fiontraíochta chun Cumasaigh. (I mo thuairimse, go raibh siad ag iarraidh a bhuachan comórtas fad leis an teideal; I mo thuairimse, bhuaigh siad). I jumped on the opportunity and now, ar deireadh, Tá an leabhar ar fad a rinneadh, teacht ar siopaí i mí Feabhra.
Mar a aibíonn SharePoint, 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. Go deimhin, a book like this on Social Computing probably couldn’t have been written a year ago. (Literally, ar ndóigh, d'fhéadfadh sé a bheith scríofa, ach ní dóigh liom go mbeadh an pobal níos mó a bheith réidh chun é). 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.
Mar a deir an teideal soiléir, 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, cineálacha ábhar, cuardaigh, sreabhadh oibre bunúsach, etc. 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, deiseanna nua agus suimiúil leas a bhaint as a thugann Ríomhaireacht Sóisialta ar an domhan.
Is Ríomhaireacht Sóisialta ábhar mór agus ag teacht chun cinn agus clúdaíonn sé a lán de thalamh rudaí, lena n-áirítear a blogs, vicithe, clibeáil sóisialta, cuardaigh, meáin idirghníomhacha, mashups, "people," and other socially-oriented "stuff." SharePoint has a very strong story to tell in this arena and now, ag an am seo i Idirlíon & Stair SharePoint, 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: Ríomhaireacht Sóisialta le Microsoft SharePoint 2007: Iarratais cur chun feidhme do SharePoint Comhoibriú agus Idirghníomhú sa Fiontraíochta chun Cumasaigh.
(Nochtadh iomlán — níl aon airgead ríchíosa i sé dom má roghnaíonn tú a cheannach ar an leabhar, mar sin nach bhfuil sé seo mar iarracht chun tacú le mo chuntas coigiltis, cé go má dhíolann sé go maith, beidh sé cabhrú amach mo ego, rud a ba mhaith i gcónaí níos mó, níos mó, níos mó!)
Mar leataobh, ach an-tábhachtach leataobh, Gabhaim buíochas Bob Fox for connecting me with Brendon. And naturally, Gabhaim buíochas le Brendon agus Matt as an deis ar a newbie ar nós mé féin agus ligean dom caibidlí údar i gcuid leabhar an-tábhachtach!
