Learning SharePoint
Someone asked me (my boss told me) to learn SharePoint and become certified in it, so that I could increase my skill list and be a candidate when related projects turn up. The company behind SharePoint, Microsoft, is releasing a new major version of SharePoint this year. There is some hype about it right now.
I wish SharePoint 2010 has more polished user interfaces, like presenting an image browsing experience when asked to select an image, instead of a simple filename text input box. Even my simple EYDO system had such an image browsing experience when I wrote it in 2002. I wonder why SharePoint does not yet include such a simple feature linked from where you need it.
Anyway, I am heading for the certification. Reading books, getting frustrated, filtering away the marketing talk they always put in their kind of books. Tinkering with the tool, trying to search Internet for answers to my questions, getting more frustrated, not finding much helpful web pages or insightful articles as I expected with my Java background. I am now back to just do it the hard way; read book, noting down and playing around with the information. When I grow tired, I turn to the tool for some experimenting.
However, I am using a tool I have come to appreciate a lot: Microsoft OneNote, part of Office. This is a great note organizer I will recommend anyone to have a look at. The table creation process is wonderful! I expect the OneNote team to add more great timesaving features, or I might have to learn how to write a OneNote Add-in myself ;-)
