Publications
I've written a significant amount of articles and practice exams for CramSession, an IT Resource site based out of Edmonton and Florida. I've also recently contributed to a book on Intranet Development by Glasshaus Publishing.
I've broken the publications into four section: Books, Articles, Practice Exams, and Photography
Chapter 3: "Where do I start?" Practical Intranet Development
In December of 2002, I was approached by Glasshaus Publishing to write the "Where Do I Start?" chapter for an upcoming book on Intranet Development. The chapter outlined the steps involved in preparing to create a new Intranet, or update an existing Intranet within your organization.
The deadline was extremely tight on this project; my first draft (16 pages) was in their hands within 3 days. The next draft had a similarly fast turnaround - changes were made, sections rewritten, and 4 pages were added within a 2 day period.
Buy the book from amazon.ca and put 30¢ in my pocket.
