A few weeks ago I had the chance to speak at SharePoint Saturday in New York. Arís, a tremendous event. An uair seo, I spoke about “learning SharePoint” – a very broad topic. During the presentation (ar féidir leat a fháil anseo), Labhair mé faoi ar éagsúlacht na teicnící le haghaidh "foghlaim" SharePoint, lena n-áirítear rudaí cosúil le foghlaim leabhar, oiliúint seomra ranga, chruthú do VM féin agus is tábhachtaí (dom), 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, Tá mé ag scríobadh go itch ag blogging faoi.

Is cosúil go roinnt daoine a cheapann go bhfuil an oiread sin blagairí cáilíochta amach ann ar an ardán lá atá inniu ann agus go n-iontrálacha blag oiread cáilíochta curtha i scríbhinn go sa chiall, there’s nothing new to write about. Nó, 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.

Chun starters, má tá tú ag blogging mar tá sé mar chuid de do iarracht pearsanta ag foghlaim go maith SharePoint, it’s really irrelevant if someone has written on your topic or not. One of the drivers behind community participation, cibé acu is le haghaidh foghlama pearsanta nó nach, é go bhfuil tú Ní mór an ceart a dhéanamh. 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, bhfuil tú ag dul chun smaoineamh ar an ábhar trí níos mó go cúramach, etc. Thus, bhfuil tú ag smaoineamh, staidéar agus ag smaoineamh ar an ábhar seo ó gach cineál uillinneacha, chlé go deas, suas go dtí síos, taobh istigh agus amuigh (nó ar a laghad ba chóir duit a bheith). That’s a very valuable exercise. Go deimhin, 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. Ar ndóigh,, bhfuil tú ag iarraidh a bhrú ar an gcnaipe bpost ar aon nós do chúiseanna éagsúla, but I digress. The bottom line is that blogging is a valuable learning exercise in and of itself, tréimhse.

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, stíleanna éagsúla scríbhneoireachta, different approaches to the same problem – they all help me understand what I need. In my opinion, Is é an pobal aon áit gar do bhaint amach go pointe sáithiúcháin ar earraí bhlag chaighdeán maith ar ábhar ar bith ar fud an domhain SharePoint.

Mar sin,, blog shiúl! You won’t hear me complaining about it. I guarantee it 🙂
