A few weeks ago I had the chance to speak at SharePoint Saturday in New York. Minsan pa, a tremendous event. Oras na ito, I spoke about “learning SharePoint” – a very broad topic. During the presentation (kung saan maaari kang makakuha dito), Ako uusapang tungkol sa iba't-ibang mga pamamaraan para sa "pag-aaral" SharePoint, kabilang ang mga bagay tulad ng pag-aaral libro, class na kuwarto ng pagsasanay, paglikha ng iyong sariling VM at pinaka-mahalaga (akin), 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, Ako scratching na pangangati sa pamamagitan ng pag-blog tungkol dito.
Ang ilang mga tao tila sa tingin na may mga kaya maraming mga kalidad ng mga blogger out doon sa scene ngayon at na kaya maraming mga kalidad blog entry na nakasulat na sa isang kahulugan, there’s nothing new to write about. O, 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 sa starters, kung ikaw ay blogging dahil ito ay bahagi ng iyong personal na pagtatangka sa pag-aaral na rin SharePoint, it’s really irrelevant if someone has written on your topic or not. One of the drivers behind community participation, kung ito ay para sa personal na pag-aaral o hindi, ay na sa iyo kailangan upang makakuha ng ito ng tama. 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, ka pagpunta sa tingin ng paksa sa pamamagitan ng mas mabuti, at iba pa. Thus, pinag-iisipan mo, pag-aaral at isinasaalang-alang sa paksang ito mula sa lahat ng uri ng mga anggulo, kaliwa hanggang kanang-, hanggang pababa, loob at sa labas (o hindi bababa sa dapat mong maging). That’s a very valuable exercise. Sa katunayan, 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. Talaga, mo nais na itulak ang pindutan post pa rin para sa isang iba't ibang mga kadahilanan, but I digress. The bottom line is that blogging is a valuable learning exercise in and of itself, panahon.
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, iba't ibang mga estilo ng pagsulat, different approaches to the same problem – they all help me understand what I need. In my opinion, ang komunidad ay walang kung saan malapit sa pag-abot sa saturation point sa magandang kalidad ng mga artikulo blog sa anumang paksa sa mundo SharePoint.
Kaya, blog ang layo! You won’t hear me complaining about it. Ginagarantiya ko ito 🙂
