Video Interview with a SharePoint Wiki Ninja: Daniel Christian

  • Artikkeli

Today is the re-awakening of our video interviews!!

It's been years since we've interviewed someone via video, so it's time to do it again! (Not since 2011; 5 years ago!) It's fitting that this renewal of video interviews begins with Dan Christian! Why? Well, Dan writes some of the most amazing SharePoint wiki articles in existence... they go in depth and detail and they're super clear and easy to follow. They're also filled with cross-references, links to download the code (if applicable), etc. But one thing that's truly the powerful cherry on top, is how he integrates YouTube videos into his articles. You read through it and follow the instructions, but if that isn't enough, he directly shows you in a screen capture video! So there's no excuse for not being able to learn from his great articles! =^)

And with that in mind, we should celebrate our contributor who's helping bring videos to our articles... with a video interview! First, let's learn more about Daniel!

This is the video interview of our 19-time SharePoint Guru winner, Daniel Christian (and here's Daniel's TechNet profile). So far, Daniel has written 31 articles and has been active on forums since July 2012. Daniel is a husband to a beautiful wife, father of two handsome boys, a SharePoint Wiki Ninja, and a big proponent of sharing knowledge.

From that interview, we got a great look at Daniel as Santa:

    Thanks Ed. This interview was definitely a fun one as we took a path down the memory lane seeing all that has been accomplished in the past 4 years. Recording the videos was simple and straight forward and I'm hoping we can do more of these.
