In badan oo naga mid ah, oo aan ku daray, ayaa u jeesan lahaa taxanaha buugaagta ee Wiley 's For Dummies markaan rabno sharraxaad cad oo fudud mawduucyo adag oo aynaan weli fahmin. Buugaagta Dummies^{(For Dummies)} waxaa loo sameeyay si ay wax u bartaan kuwa bilowga ah oo ay u siiyaan kalsooni oo aad bay caan u yihiin natiijada. Microsoft Office 365 ee Dummies^{(Microsoft Office 365 for Dummies)} waxaa loo qoray si uu u sharaxo badeeco cusub oo casri ah oo loogu talagalay in lagu keeno Microsoft Office meel ay gaari karaan ururo badan. Iyo dabcan badeecada aad u casrisan, waa inta ay sii caddahay sharaxaadda loo baahan yahay. Buugani shaqada ma qabtaa? Aan^(Let) ku ogaano dib u eegistan.

Waa maxay Microsoft Office 365 , si kastaba?

Sanadihii la soo dhaafay, Microsoft Office waxa uu noqday "heerka dahabka" abka wax soo saarka ee ganacsiga, dugsiga, iyo guriga. Laakiin ma jirto wax laga helayo xaqiiqada ah in nuqullada sharciga ah ee Microsoft Office ay qaali yihiin, iyo haddii la doonayo in lagu isticmaalo meherad ama dugsi, qiimaha shatiyada goobta ayaa gabi ahaanba iibka ka dhigi kara meel aan la gaarin.

Iyadoo la aqoonsanayo tan, Microsoft waxay abuurtay Microsoft Office 365 , kaas oo ah "daruur ku salaysan" oo la heli karo rukhsad bille ah. Tani waxay hoos u dhigeysaa qiimaha iyada oo ay gaari karaan ururo badan ( Microsoft Office 365 waxaa loogu talagalay kooxo halkii ay maskaxda ku hayn lahaayeen isticmaalayaasha gaarka ah) koox kastaa waxay ku biiri kartaa kaliya sifooyinka lagama maarmaanka u ah in shaqada la qabto.

Daruuraha oo sharraxaya

Maadaama "computing Cloud" ay tahay fikradda laga yaabo in dad badan aysan wax badan ka ogeyn weli, buuggu si sax ah ayuu u dhex quusaa oo isku dayaa inuu sharaxo. Nasiib darro, qorayaashu ma adeegsadaan qaabka caadiga ah ee neecawda ah ee Dummies^{(For Dummies)} , iyaga oo door bida wax u yimaada sidii qareen-ku-hadlid. Laga bilaabo cutubka koowaad:

"Daruurtu waxay tusaale u tahay internetka. Marka la eego aadka u fudud, Cloud computing macnaheedu waa in codsiyadaada ama software-kaaga, xogta, iyo xisaabinta baahiyaha la galo, lagu kaydiyo, oo ka dhaca internetka ama daruuraha."

Qaybta oo dhan Qeexidda Cloud Computing^{(Defining Cloud Computing)} waa sidaas oo kale. Um... "la galay, la kaydiyay, oo dhacay"? Halkii aad ka heli lahayd sharraxaad degdeg ah oo fudud oo ah inaad isticmaalayso software kaas oo laga heli karo internetka^(Internet) intii aad ku rakibi lahayd kombuyuutarkaaga, qorayaashu waxay ku socdaan bogag, waligaa ma isticmaalin hal erey halka 53 ay samayn doonto. Bilaw wanaagsan maaha halkan, guys.

Waxa kale oo jira sharraxaad ku saabsan taariikhda xisaabinta daruuraha iyo moodooyinka adeegga ee la heli karo, oo ay ku xigto macluumaad badan oo loogu talagalay horumarinta, midkoodna uma eka mid ku habboon fahamka sida loo isticmaalo Microsoft Office 365 . Haddii ay ahayd in lagu daro, waxa fiicnaan lahayd in la dhigo Lifaaqa^(Appendix) . Hal qayb oo kale oo ku tusi doona waxaad diidan tahay:

"Dhaqdhaqaaqa daruuriga gaarka ah, waxaad weli ku raaxaysanaysaa faa'iidooyinka xisaabinta daruuraha dadweynaha, kuwaas oo ah: is-adeegga, scalability, iyo dabacsanaanta. Intaa waxaa dheer, agabyadaada gaarka ah waxay kuu oggolaanayaan xakameyn dheeraad ah iyo habeynin iyada oo aan loo eegin haddii fulintaadu ay ku jirto dhismaha ama bannaanka. - dhismaha."

Qofka fahma sida loo qoro Ingiriis^(English) cad oo toosan maalin kasta waxa uu samayn lahaa lacag culus oo ay isu shaqaaleysiinayaan sidii tafatire iyo akhriye buugan. Oo xataa ma aan soo qaadin dhammaan khaladaadka qoraalka. Sida muuqata baararka matoorada ayaa u maqan dayactir maalintaas. Xataa jaantusyada sharaxaya qorshayaasha isdiiwaangelinta ee kala duwan waxay ahaayeen kuwo jahawareer leh oo ay ka buuxan jargon.

Dhaqdhaqaaqa saxda ah...ama maya.

Iyadoo cutubka u guuraya xafiiska 365 Cloud^{(Moving to the Office 365 Cloud)} , qorayaashu waxay ugu dambeyntii bilaabeen inay sharraxaan waxyaabaha qaabka ay tahay inay ka helaan socodka, laakiin weli waxaa jira qaybo ka dhigaya inay u muuqdaan inay ku heleen ereyga, iyo la'aanta muuqata tifaftiruhu wali wuu ifayaa. Si aan ku siiyo tusaalooyin ciddiyaha-faraha-madow-madow ee cutubkan: Shaqadeyda ma u fududaan karaa mise ma qabsan karo? Haa, maya, walaalayaal, waa Ma u qaban karaa shaqadayda si fudud ama ma qabsan karo. ^{(Can I do my job more easily or not.)}Runtii. Faa'iidada kale ee helitaanka xogta dhexe ee ku taal waa inaad had iyo jeer leedahay hal il oo runta ah. Waxay ila tahay "ilaa kaliya ee runta" waxaa badanaa laga helaa waxbarista diimaha, maaha xisaabinta internetka .^(Internet)Haddii aad waligaa la kulantay qof IT ah, waxaa laga yaabaa inaad hal shay ka koobtay iyaga. Waxay yihiin freaks xakamaynta.

Oo waxay naga filayaan inaan sii wadno akhrinta intaas ka dib? Haddii aanan akhrin lahayn Microsoft Office 365 ee Dummies^{(Microsoft Office 365 for Dummies)} si aan dib ugu eego, waxay ku noqon lahayd isla markaaba dukaanka buugaagta, ama dhibicda buugaagta maktabadda, meeshaas.

Sharaxaada abka... iyo in kale.

Cutubka koowaad ee Sarrifka Onlineka^{(Exchange Online)} waxa uu ku bilaabmaa iyada oo aad u faahfaahsan oo ku saabsan sida inta badan dadka isticmaala Outlook aysan runtii dan ka lahayn server-ka Sarrifka^(Exchange) , ilaa iyo inta uu qabanayo shaqadiisa gudbinta iimaylka. Taas oo^(Which) aad ugu badan tahay run. Laakiin markaa waxay galaan faahfaahin badan oo ku saabsan sida haysashada server-ka sarrifka^(Exchange) ee internetka ay tahay fikrad aad u fiican, iyo ku saabsan noocyada kala duwan ee fursadaha la diri karo (mar kale) iyo sababta dadka isticmaala Microsoft Office 365 ay u heli karaan boostada Outlook meel kasta. ^(Outlook)Haddii dadku aysan runtii dan ka lahayn, maxay u qaadanayaan meel bannaan? Waa inaad u sii gudubtaa cutubka xiga ka hor intaysan bilaabin inay ku siiyaan faahfaahinta sida loo isticmaalo^(Outlook's)Astaamaha cusub ee Outlook , iyo sharraxaadahaasi waa cursory sida ugu fiican.

Qaybta SharePoint Online waxay ku bilaabataa sifooyinka isku xidhka bulshada, kuwaas oo aan xataa la heli karin ilaa ururkaagu aanu ku biirin Qorshaha Ganacsiga^{(Enterprise Plan)} . Oo ku sifaynta astaanta My Site ee SharePoint Online sida " Facebook ee goobta shaqada" uma badna inay dhiirigeliso loo-shaqeeyayaasha inay ku daraan is-diiwaangelintooda. Qaybta Bogga Kooxda ayaa^{(Team Site)} ka hadlaysa u adeegsiga wada shaqaynta waxayna sheegtay in qorayaashu hubiyaan inay tahay sifada ugu isticmaalka badan software-ka. Kadibna waxay ku noqdaan technobabble: Diiwaangelintaada Xafiiska 365 waxay si toos ah u siinaysaa goobta kooxdaada ee ururkaaga."Siyaasad"? Waxaa jira sharraxaad kooban oo ku saabsan shuruudaha magacaabidda faylka, dib u soo celinta nuqulkii hore ee dukumeentiyada (haddii, sida ay ku qeexeen, nuqul ka mid ah ayaa daaran ), iyadoo la adeegsanayo jadwalka kooxda iyo la wadaagida Goobaha Kooxda^{(Team Sites)} "la-hawlgalayaasha dibadda." Ka dib waxaa jira qaybo ka hadlaya abuurista intranet iyo "subsite-ka sii daynta saxaafadeed," laakiin haddii ururku uu ku biiray Qorshaha Ganacsiga^{(Enterprise Plan)} waa wax fiican oo wanaagsan inay heleen qaar ka mid ah "xakamaynta freaks" (wali ma awoodo. Rumayso in qorayaashu ay yiraahdeen taas) si loo dejiyo taas oo dhan, mana u socon doonaan inay akhriyaan Microsoft Office 365 ee Dummies^{(Microsoft Office 365 for Dummies)} tilmaamaha sida loo sameeyo.

Sababaha qaar ka mid ah maktabadda dukumeentiga, maktabadda slide, tags & notes iyo sets dukumeenti waxaa loo tixraacaa SharePoint Scenarios^{(SharePoint Scenarios)} . Maktabadu waa xaalad? Waa hubaal. Waxay tixraacaan shaqada raadinta^{(search functionality)} iyo nadiifiyeyaasha la habeyn karo^{(configurable refiners)} waxayna u adeegsadaan ereyga "shaqaale dul saaran" tusaale ahaan. Ma jiro qaamuus-teknoloji-to-Ingiriisi oo lagu daray.

Cutubyada soo haray waxay daboolayaan Xafiiska Shabakadda Shabakadda^{(Office Web Apps)} ( Ereyga^(Word) , Excel , PowerPoint , iyo OneNote ) isla eray ahaan, farsamo xad-dhaaf ah, oo hubaal-aan-For-Dummies-ku-habboon. Maaddaama Apps-ka Shabakadda Shabakadda ee Xafiiska^{(Office Web Apps)} aanay wax badan ka duwanayn miiskooda Microsoft Office 2010 oo u dhigma, buug si faahfaahsan u daboolaya Microsoft Office 2010 waa inuu dadka intiisa badan siiyaa wax kasta oo ay u baahan yihiin inay ogaadaan. Fiiri faallooyinka aan ku talineyno xagga hoose ee maqaalkan. Kuwani waa buugaag ka fiican oo ku saabsan Microsoft Office 2010 .

Waxaa jirta qayb kama dambays ah oo bixinaysa tafaasiil ku saabsan sida ururku u go'aamin karo haddii qalabkoodu buuxiyo shuruudaha qalabka, iyo waxa loo baahan yahay in la sameeyo si aad ugu biirto Microsoft Office 365 oo loo ilaaliyo. Laakiin taasi miyaanay sidoo kale noqon doonin shaqada kuwa "xakamaynta khalkhalka" ee waaxda IT?

Wax kale ayaa jira, laakiin maxaa dhibaya?

Runtii waxaan ku dadaalay inaan si fiican u akhriyo buuggan si aan dib u eegis daacad ah ugu sameeyo, laakiin sida ay ii soo baxday, daacadnimadu waxay igu qasbeysaa inaan sheego inaanan jeexin karin jidkayga wax ka badan kala badh ka hor intaanan quusan oo aan bilaabin inaan iska fiirsado si aan u arko. maxaa meesha ku jiray. Qoraalku waa wax laga xumaado, sharraxaaduhu waa mid xad dhaaf ah ama aad u yar, si cadna qorayaashu wax fikrad ah kama haystaan ​​dhagaystayaashooda bartilmaameedka ah. Waxaan filayaa in buuggani ku dhamaan doono jahawareerinta isticmaale cusub oo aad uga badan inta uu waxbaro. Uma qalmo.

Xukun

Mid ka mid ah sababaha aan, sida dad badan, aan had iyo jeer u qaddariyo taxanaha For Dummies (oo aan iibsaday wax badan oo buugaagta ah sannadihii la soo dhaafay) waa qaab qoraal oo joogto ah iyo kormeer tafatir oo heer sare ah. Caadi ahaan buugaagtu waxay diiradda saaraan inay wax u sharxaan isticmaalaha cusub, waxay leeyihiin qaab cad iyo cod fudud, bogagguna hubaal kuma jiraan khaladaad xagga qoraalka ah. Ma garanayo sida Microsoft Office 365 ee Dummies^{(Microsoft Office 365 for Dummies)} uu uga dhigay inuu dhaafo shaqaalaha tifaftirka caadiga ah ee Wiley qaabka murugada leh ee ay ku jirto. Xitaa kuma talin lahaa inaan ka eego maktabadda sababtoo ah waxaad dib ugu soo celin doontaa dib u soo celinta. Buugga hoos u dhaca oo leh xawaare ula kac ah oo dhan.

Book Review - Microsoft Office 365 for Dummies

A lot оf us, me includеd, turn to Wiley's For Dummies series of books when we want a clear and simple explanation of some complex topic that we don't quite understand yet. For Dummies books are created to educate beginners and give them confidence and they are extremely popular as a result. Microsoft Office 365 for Dummies was written to explain a new, sophisticated product that's designed to bring Microsoft Office within reach of more organizations. And of course the more sophisticated the product, the more clear the explanation needs to be. Does this book do the job? Let's find out in this review.

What is Microsoft Office 365, anyway?

Over the years, Microsoft Office has become the "gold standard" productivity app for business, school, and home. But there is no getting around the fact that legal copies of Microsoft Office are expensive, and if they're to be used at a business or school, the cost of site licenses can put the purchase completely out of reach.

Acknowledging this, Microsoft has created Microsoft Office 365, which is "cloud based" and available by monthly subscription. This brings the cost down within reach of a lot more organizations (Microsoft Office 365 is designed with groups rather than with individual users in mind) and each group can subscribe to just the features necessary to get the job done.

Explaining the cloud

Since "cloud computing" is a concept many people might not know a lot about yet, the book dives right in and tries to explain it. Unfortunately, the authors don't use the usual breezy For Dummies writing style, preferring something that comes across as modified lawyer-speak. From the first chapter:

"The cloud is a metaphor for the Internet. In very simplistic terms, cloud computing means that your applications or software, data, and computing needs are accessed, stored, and occur over the Internet or the cloud."

The whole section Defining Cloud Computing is like that. Um... "accessed, stored, and occur"? Instead of a brisk and simple explanation that you're going to be using software that's available on the Internet rather than installed on your own computer, the authors go on for pages, never using one word where 53 will do. Not off to a good start here, guys.

There's also an explanation of the history of cloud computing and the service models that are available, followed by a bunch of information for developers, none of which seemed relevant to understanding how to use Microsoft Office 365. If it had to be included, it would have been better put in an Appendix. One more excerpt to show you what you're up against:

"In a private cloud implementation, you still enjoy the benefits of public cloud computing, namely: self-service, scalability, and elasticity. In addition, your dedicated resources allow more control and customization regardless of whether your implementation exists on-premises or off-premises."

Someone who understands how to write clear, straightforward everyday English could have made serious money hiring themselves out as an editor and proofreader on this book. And I haven't even mentioned all the typographical errors. Apparently the typesetters' space bar was out for repairs that day. Even the tables explaining the various subscription plans were confusing and full of jargon.

Moving right along... or not.

With the chapter Moving to the Office 365 Cloud, the authors finally start explaining things the way they should have from the get-go, but there are still sections that make it look like they got paid by the word, and the apparent lack of an editor is still glaring. To give you some fingernails-on-the-blackboard examples from this chapter: Can I do my job easier or not? Uh, no, fellas, it's Can I do my job more easily or not. Really. Another benefit of accessing centrally located data is that you always have a single source of the truth. I think "single sources of the truth" are usually found in religious teachings, not Internet based computing. If you have ever met an IT person, you might have generalized one thing about them. They are control freaks.

And they expect us to keep reading after that? If I hadn't been reading Microsoft Office 365 for Dummies to review it, it would have gone right back to the bookstore, or into the library book drop, at that point.

Explaining the apps... or not.

The first chapter on Exchange Online starts off by going into a lot of detail about how most people who use Outlook really don't care about the Exchange server, as long as it does its job of delivering email. Which is very likely true. But then they go into a lot of detail about how having the Exchange server online is a great idea, and about the different kinds of deployment options (again) and why people who use Microsoft Office 365 can get their Outlook mail from pretty much anywhere. If people really don't care, why take up space with all that? You have to move along to the next chapter before they start giving you the details of how to use Outlook's new features, and those explanations are cursory at best.

The section on SharePoint Online starts off with the social-networking features, which aren't even available unless your organization subscribes to the Enterprise Plan. And describing the My Site feature of SharePoint Online as "Facebook for the workplace" is not likely to encourage employers to include it in their subscription. The section on Team Site talks about using it for collaboration and says the authors are sure it's the most widely used feature of the software. Then they go back to the technobabble: Your Office 365 subscription automatically provisions a default team site for your organization. "Provisions"? There are brief explanations of the file naming requirements, restoring previous versions of documents (if, as they describe it, versioning is turned on), using team calendars and sharing Team Sites with "outside partners." Then there are sections that talk about creating an intranet and a "press release subsite," but if an organization has subscribed to the Enterprise Plan it's a pretty good bet they've got some of those "control freaks" (I still can't believe the authors said that) to set that all up, and they're not going to be reading Microsoft Office 365 for Dummies for instructions on how to do it.

For some reason the document library, slide library, tags & notes and document sets are referred to as SharePoint Scenarios. A library is a scenario? Sure it is. They refer to search functionality and configurable refiners and use the term "onboarding employees" as their example. No technobabble-to-English glossary is included.

The remaining chapters cover the Office Web Apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote) in the same wordy, overly technical, and definitely-not-For-Dummies fashion. Since the Office Web Apps are apparently not much different from their desktop Microsoft Office 2010 equivalents, a book that covers Microsoft Office 2010 in detail should supply most people with nearly everything they need to know. See the reviews we recommend at the bottom of this article. Those are better books about Microsoft Office 2010.

There's a final section that gives details on how an organization can determine if their equipment meets the hardware requirements, and what needs to be done to subscribe to Microsoft Office 365 and maintain it. But wouldn't that also be the job of those "control freaks" in the IT department?

There's more, but why bother?

I really did my best to read this book thoroughly to give it an honest review, but as it turned out, honesty compels me to say that I just could not plow my way through more than halfway before I gave up and started just skimming to see what was there. The writing is dismal, the explanations are either overkill or skimpy, and the authors clearly have no idea of their target audience. I think this book would end up confusing a new user far more than it would educate. It's not worth it.

Verdict

One of the reasons I, like many people, have always appreciated the For Dummies series (and I have bought a lot of those books over the years) is their consistent writing style and excellent editorial oversight. Ordinarily the books are focused on explaining things for the new user, have a clear style and a lighthearted tone, and the pages are definitely not riddled with typographical mistakes. I don't know how Microsoft Office 365 for Dummies made it past the usually outstanding editorial staff at Wiley in the sad shape it's in. I wouldn't even recommend checking it out of the library because you'd be throwing it right back in the book drop with all deliberate speed.
