Kijamii Computing Kitabu kwa SharePoint 2007

3 majibu

Katika katikati ya mwezi Julai, I was offered a chance to author two chapters for Brendon Schwartz’s na Matt Ranlett’s up-coming book, Kijamii Computing na Microsoft SharePoint 2007: Implementing Applications for SharePoint to Enable Collaboration and Interaction in the Enterprise. (Nadhani walikuwa kujaribu kushinda mashindano ya urefu na cheo kwamba; Nadhani wao alishinda). I jumped on the opportunity and now, hatimaye, the entire book is done, arriving at stores in February.

As SharePoint matures, 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. Kwa kweli, a book like this on Social Computing probably couldn’t have been written a year ago. (Literally, of course it could have been written, but I don’t think the larger community would have been ready for it). 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.

As the title plainly says, 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, maudhui ya aina, kutafuta, basic workflow, nk. 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, kutumia fursa mpya na kuvutia kwamba Computing kijamii huleta kwa dunia.

Computing kijamii ni somo kubwa na kutoa na inashughulikia mengi mbali ya mambo, ikiwa ni pamoja na blogs, Wiki, kijamii tagging, kutafuta, maingiliano ya vyombo vya habari, mashups, "people," and other socially-oriented "stuff." SharePoint has a very strong story to tell in this arena and now, wakati huu katika mtandao & SharePoint historia, 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: Kijamii Computing na Microsoft SharePoint 2007: Implementing Applications for SharePoint to Enable Collaboration and Interaction in the Enterprise.

(Full disclosure — there’s no royalty money in it for me if you choose to buy the book, so this isn’t an effort to boost my savings account, though if it sells well, it will help out my ego, which always wants more, more, more!)

As an aside, but very important aside, I thank Bob Fox for connecting me with Brendon. And naturally, I thank Brendon and Matt for taking a chance on a newbie such as myself and letting me author chapters in their very important book!

Je, ni Access Limited Anyway?

3 majibu

UPDATE 11/03/08: Kuwa na uhakika wa kusoma maoni bora na ya kina kutoka Dessie Lunsford kwa post hii.

Nimekuwa kazi katika mradi siri tech editing kwa kitabu juu-kuja na marejeo ni kuingia hii blog na Tyler Butler MSDN ECM blog. This is the first time I personally read a clear definition of the meaning of Limited Access. Here’s the meat of the definition:

Katika SharePoint, watumiaji bila majina’ haki ni kuamua na ngazi Limited Kupata ruhusa. Upatikanaji mdogo ni maalum ruhusa ngazi ya kwamba hawezi kuwa kwa ajili ya mtumiaji au kundi moja kwa moja. sababu ipo ni kwa sababu kama una maktaba au subsite kwamba amevunja urithi ruhusa, na kutoa huduma ya mtumiaji / kikundi tu kwamba maktaba / subsite, ili kuona yaliyomo yake, mtumiaji / kundi lazima kuwa na baadhi ya upatikanaji wa mtandao mizizi. Vinginevyo mtumiaji / kikundi hawataweza kuvinjari maktaba / subsite, ingawa wao wana haki kuna, sababu kuna mambo katika mtandao mizizi ambazo zinahitajika atatoa tovuti au maktaba. Kwa hiyo, wakati kutoa ruhusa kundi pekee subsite au maktaba ya kwamba ni kuvunja urithi ruhusa, SharePoint moja kwa moja kutoa Access Limited kwa kuwa kundi au mtumiaji kwenye mtandao mizizi.

Swali hili anakuja juu sasa na kisha kwenye vikao MSDN na nimekuwa daima imekuwa curious (lakini si curious kutosha kufikiri nje kabla ya leo :)).

Je, si mimi Mara nyingi Patana na Big George Will, Lakini Yeye ni Haki Kuhusu Matokeo dreary

1 Kujibu

kufunga mawazo juu ya hili vinginevyo wepesi makala anaongea vizuri na matatizo ya mara kwa mara sisi uso katika jamii ya kiufundi:

"Such dreary developments, Inatarajiwa kwa uhakika, lazima kuzaliwa kifalsafa."

This puts me in mind of one of the presentations I gave at the SharePoint Best Practices conference last month. I was describing how to get "great" biashara ya mahitaji na mtu katika watazamaji aliuliza, katika athari, what to do if circumstances are such that it’s impossible to get great requirements. Kwa mfano, utamaduni wa kampuni ya kupewa maeneo IT mbele ya wakusanyaji mahitaji / biashara mchambuzi, preventing direct communication with end users. This is a serious impediment to obtaining great business requirements. My answer was "walk away." I’m not a big humorist, so I was surprised at how funny this was to the audience. Hata hivyo, I’m serious about this. If you can’t get good requirements, you can be certain that a dreary outcome will result. Who wants that? I’m a consultant, hivyo ni kweli zaidi (ingawa sana chungu na kuporomoka) for me to walk away. Hata hivyo, kama wewe ni unakamilika kikamilifu katika kampuni na hawataki, au hawawezi, kutembea mbali, George (for once 🙂 ) inaonyesha njia.

SharePoint Designer Workflow na Attachments Barua pepe — Ukamilifu mwema kwa kuwa alitaka

Acha reply

Cha kusikitisha, it is not to be. We cannot send an email with attachments from a SharePoint Designer workflow using out of the box features. This wish comes up with increasing regularity on the MSDN forums.

Hata hivyo, the SharePoint jukwaa, kama na mambo mengi, does offer us a path forward. Tunaweza kujenga vitendo desturi which we then incorporate into our workflows. Once installed, hatua desturi inaonekana na anahisi kama hatua nyingine yoyote ya (e.g. Kukusanya takwimu, Ingia Ujumbe, nk).

Kujenga hatua desturi ni mlima kubwa ya kupanda, hata hivyo, for End Users. This codeplex project provides this functionality: http://www.codeplex.com/SPDActivities. Pulling that down and installing it is also beyond the skills of typical End Users. Hata hivyo, ni rahisi sana kwa admin SharePoint ya kufanya hivyo, hivyo kama wewe mwenyewe kupata wanaohitaji kuendeleza workflow na uwezo huu, kazi na msimamizi wako SharePoint kupata kufanyika.

Haraka Tip: Configure Usalama Ruhusu Admins Kupata yoyote Site wangu katika SharePoint

Acha reply

Katika ishara kwamba Computing kijamii ni mwanzo wa kuchukua mbali na SharePoint, I see an increased number of My Site type questions. One common question goes something like this:

"I am an administrator and I need to be able to access every My Site. How do I do that?"

The trick here is that each My Site is its own site collection. SharePoint security is normally administered at the site collection level and this trips up many a SharePoint administrator. Kawaida, she already has access to configure security in the "main" tovuti makusanyo na wanaweza kutambua kwamba hii haina moja kwa moja kazi kwa Tovuti Yangu.

Tovuti makusanyo pamoja kuishi ndani ya chombo kikubwa, which is the web application. Farm admins can can configure security at the web app level and this is how admins can grant themselves access to any site collection in the web application. This blog entry describes one of my personal experiences with web application policies. I defined a web application policy by accident: http://paulgalvin.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!1CC1EDB3DAA9B8AA!255.entry.

Web application policies can be dangerous and I suggest that they be used sparingly. If I were an admin (na kuwashukuru wema mimi si), I would create a separate AD account named something like "SharePoint Web App Administrator" and give that one account the web application security role it needs. I would not configure this kind of thing for the regular farm admin or individual site collection admins. It will tend to hide potential problems because the web app role overrides any lower level security settings.

Haraka Tip: Kutumia “IsDocument:1” kwa Chambua Matokeo ya Utafutaji

4 majibu

Mwisho 11/03/08: Wenzake MVP Mike Walsh usahihi anasema kuwa hii ni WSS 3.0 / MOSS feature. It does not work in WSS 2.0 au mapema.

Updatte 11/03/08: (Update ya pili katika siku moja!): Be sure to read the excellent comment from "nowise" kwa maelezo zaidi na mwingine mzuri xref kiungo.

Maswali mawili walifika katika mfululizo wa haraka wiki hii kwenye vikao MSDN kuuliza tofauti ya hii:

"When I search a keyword, folders kutoka hati maktaba yangu na kwamba Keyword katika njia yao watatoka nje ya kwanza katika matokeo yangu ya utafutaji. Mimi sitaki kuwa kutokea. Files with that keyword are more important to me. I don’t want to see folders at all."

This is actually quite easy to do out of the box. Simply add a "IsDocument:1" swala tafuta na SharePoint tafuta (wote WSS na MOSS) itakuwa kuzuia yenyewe kwa kuonyesha nyaraka halisi.
