It’s Alive!
September 29th, 2008by Jeremy Thomas
After many months of blood, sweat and tears, Enterprise 2.0 Implementation is finally available. Aaron Newman and I started this endeavor at the end of 2007. Aaron Fulkerson, CEO of Mindtouch, later came on board as our technical editor and had some great insight for us based on his experience with DekiWiki and SOA architectural principles. Jevon MacDonald was kind enough to write a foreward for us (and thanks, Jevon, for your announcement on the FASTForward Blog), with Susan Scrupski doing a review.
It’s a weird feeling seeing this book in its tangible form after spending so much time looking at PDF proofs and author/editor modifications. You can see the copies of the book I was sent by McGraw Hill the other day in the picture on the left.
Early feedback holds the book is a great guide for the technical aspects of implementing Enterprise 2.0, but that we’re light when it comes to discussing the softer issues about managing organizational change with such an implementation. I’d agree, although Aaron and I set out to create a technical guide for Architects and the like, as the technologies involved tend to be more ubiquitous than the techniques for driving the people side of the equation.
I’m open to any sort of feedback or comments about the book. Feel free to leave a comment here, or send me an email at jeremy[dot]thomas[at]socialglass[dot]com.

Mate, Congrats and well done. I am proud to say I am one of the first few people to buy and read your book. It was a great read for sure with a great coverage on the technical side of things. Will be writing a review for you soon while I prepare for the wedding in 3 weeks time.

Finally a book that touches on the “practical/technical” aspect of Enterprise 2.0 rather than “theory”.
