A few weeks ago I had the chance to speak at SharePoint Saturday in New York. Unha vez máis, a tremendous event. Este tempo, I spoke about “learning SharePoint” – a very broad topic. During the presentation (que podes obter aquí), Falei sobre unha variedade de técnicas para "aprender" SharePoint, incluíndo cousas como aprendizaxe libro, adestramento de clase, crear a súa propia máquina virtual e máis importante (para min), 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, Estou coçando que a coceira polos blogs sobre iso.

Algunhas persoas parecen pensar que hai tantos bloggers de calidade aí fóra, na escena hoxe e que tantas entradas de blog de calidade ser escrito que, nun sentido, there’s nothing new to write about. Ou, 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.

Para comezar, se está Blog, porque iso é parte da súa tentativa persoal en aprender SharePoint ben, it’s really irrelevant if someone has written on your topic or not. One of the drivers behind community participation, se é para aprender persoal ou non, é que que acertar. 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, vai pensar o asunto por máis coidado, etc. Thus, está a pensar, estudando e tendo en conta o tema de todos os tipos de ángulos, esquerda a dereita, de arriba para abaixo, dentro e por fóra (ou, polo menos, ten que estar). That’s a very valuable exercise. En realidade, 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. Por suposto, quere usar o botón poste de calquera xeito para unha variedade de razóns, but I digress. The bottom line is that blogging is a valuable learning exercise in and of itself, período.

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, different writing styles, different approaches to the same problem – they all help me understand what I need. In my opinion, the community is no where close to reaching a saturation point on good quality blog articles on any topic in the SharePoint world.

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