Since the birth of network technology, the mutual impact of IT publishing and network technology has always been existed. Whoever affects each other is more affected, help more help, it seems difficult to measure. Here is a simply analyzing the impact and role between the two and introduce some experience in IT editing application network technology.
The network brought the giant change
Before the computer is popular in the publishing industry, scissors and pastes are indispensable tools. The manuscript relies on handwritten, and the artwork is also manually drawn, and the manual is handled and pasted to the correct position. Although I have no personal experience, I often listen to the old editors of the peers. With the popularity and application of the computer, the work mode of the publishing industry also has undergone fundamental changes. Scripus, delivery, typography rely on electronic version of the file, drawing can be drawn by scanning and computer software. These changes are primarily on editing its own work mode. After the birth of the Internet, the editorial work has changed again. Editing can browse information through web browsing information, can communicate through email, instant messaging tool, etc., can be filed through FTP, etc. These changes have mainly occurred in the editing of the outside world.
I remember that a editorial colleague has highlighted the understanding of the basic technology of the network. It is considered that IT editing must understand some network underlying working mechanisms such as TCP three handshakes. I personally think that I don't know how these mechanisms have also works on IT editing. Of course, there is a deeper understanding of a certain field of IT technology, which will help the editor of relevant field books. However, we often say that the editor is a hidden, professional editing is more emphasizing the interaction of the breadth and technical direction of the knowledge. IT editing is also an expert in a certain field, that will have to pay a lot of learning professional time, I am afraid I only know that a certain technical details are not enough. I want to know about network technology development and interaction of IT publishing, master some common network skills, which seems to be more practical for most peers.
Network promotes IT publication
Today, network technology has become an important field of IT book publishing. In the domestic well-known books survey company, the company's market investigation of computer books, network and communication as a classification in column. According to the statistics of the open company, the sales of such books published each year accounts for about 14% of the overall computer bookmark market, which is second larger than graphic image multimedia. With the development of network technology, it is expected that this number will rise.
The help of network technology to IT book publishing is not only reflected in book technology topics. In the field of booking and circulation, network technology has also had a big impact on IT publishing industry. This impact is a double-edged sword, and the advantages and disadvantages.
For example, the birth of the online bookstore brings a new force to the IT book, and this new bookstore has brought unprecedented voice and guide. Today, many IT practitioners know China-Pub (
Www.china-pub.com), Dearbook
Www.dearbook.com, other professional IT book online stores, and these online bookstores annual book sales codes are not to be published.
The advantages of the online bookstore are very prominent: (1) There is no storefront cost, can carry out a variety of forms, strong infectious, low cost, low cost. This attracts more and more publishers to participate, gain a lot of successful promotional marketing cases. (2) Create a platform for the reader to publish book reviews, giving them the right to speak and guide. (3) Press can easily understand reader needs and feedback through the online bookstore.
However, the shortcomings of the online bookstore have also protruded with his advantages: (1) The experience of the reader is not directly completed. (2) High distribution cost, sometimes the delivery time is longer, and the reader is dissatisfied. (3) There is no real transparent, fair, and efficient book review environment. We often see advertisements that have nothing to do with the book review in the online bookstore, and even more people are endless and embarrassed. Recently, it has also been developed into a means and method for unfair market competition, that is, using comments to attack the products of competitors, confuse readers. Another example is an e-book. The network provides great convenience for the spread of e-books. We can easily find the post on various forums, and often see the download connections provided by "Good People", or distribute e-books in the form of emails. The spread of e-books plays a chain reaction in the popularity of some good books. The phenomenon is: Another e-book, people will become like. But obviously, the cheating of e-books is good, which brings a fatal blow to many introduction of books, especially the video version of the book. Whether it is ftp, BT or eDonkey, the source of the ego, which is the download of which e-book is in line with intellectual property law. Those who have got the electronic file in Baandi, and several of them are able to endure the bench and vision to read it. (Can have fewer people who can have and use the hand-held e-reader).
In short, there will be a disadvantage. The application of network technology and how the IT book publishing will be more becoming more in a better development, which requires IT publisher and readers to take their own responsibilities to regulate their own behavior.
Traditional applications
Let's take a look at the application and experience of IT book editing some common network skills. In fact, these applications are not limited to IT book editing, and even unlimited to book editing this profession. But I think, there will be many personal experiences with more professional features, I hope to share and communicate with the majority of peers.
Web browsing. Getting information is the source of editing planning. Today, the web application has become an important means of obtaining information about book publishing and IT technology. And the Web site related to IT book publishers mainly: (1) Foreign publisher's website, such as Pearsoneducation
Www.pearsoned.com), etc., provides detailed new book information. (2) Amazon.com
Www.amazon.com), bookpool
Www.bookpool.com) Waiting for foreign book sales not only provides new book information, but also sees sales ranking, more objective comments, related book recommendation reading lists, etc. Of course, China China-Pub, Dearbook, Huachu
Www.huachu.com.cn) Waiting is not inferior to the website organization architecture, but it remains to be improved on the richness and usefulness of information. (3) Professional IT information website, including 9CBS (
Www.9cbs.net), Medical Network (
Www.ccw.com.cn), etc. (4) Author website. In terms of building your own website, IT book authors lead the trend, and domestic IT publishers have also played active promotion and participation. Houjie
Www.jjhou.com), Li Wei (
Liwei.9cbs.net), other famous technical writers; Fu Zongyan (
Qzy.9cbs.net), Liu Yi (
Www.liu-yi.net), glory (
Www.royaloo.com, etc. The teachers have their own technical book service website, and their website has a great impact on the readers. It is worth noting that because of a variety of reasons, all kinds of information now flooding on the web are also mixed, and the authenticity is difficult to distinguish, which requires us to spend more time to identify, to falsify.
E-mail. The application of E-mail has been deeply rooted. For the editor of the publisher, E-mail applications are mainly in the following aspects: (1) Smaller manuscript transmission. If the file is greater than 2MB, it is recommended to consider the way to use FTP better (2) All copyright contact. The publisher is specially responsible for the copyright owner of the copyright. Since the company contacted by the copyright manager is often a lot of home, the complex copyright business is complicated, so their mailbox is often filled with mail from different senders. It is easy to confuse for a long time. Timely backup and clearance classifications are very important for them. (3) Reader service and communication. (4) Other daily transactions.
New application to the trend
IM. Nowadays, people often ask questions are: "Do you have MSN (Hotmail, QQ, etc.)? For convenience and external communication, IT technology edits requires at least an instant messaging tool. In a variety of instant messaging tools (MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, QQ, POPO, GTALK, etc.), MSN is used in a wide range of use. There are some disputes in the industry for the popularity and use of the IM tool. Some IT companies have made any IM tools from working hours. One of the leaders I know also expressed opposition to the use of IM tools in working hours, his reason is that IM far does not have a call to timely and efficient. But later, even himself found not only repeatedly banned, but also more and more editors using MSN. Why is IM in the IT publishing industry so strong in vitality? I personally think that: (1) Many of the IT industry is the largest user group of IM tools, which makes it often accepts and identifies IM communication with IT book editing that they deal with them. (2) IM communication is faster than E-mail, more efficient; slower than the phone, but communication is often more detailed. IM has its own characteristics and advantages. (3) Many authors, translators are using spare time to write, and many details through IM exchanges are more efficient than e-mail, more private than telephoto. However, the IM tool also has its own shortcomings, which is not strong enough to stability and privacy; in addition, completely relying on keyboard input speed, need to invest more attention, will reduce the efficiency of other work.
FTP. FTP is ideal for use to transfer files. More than 2 megabytes of files are transmitted with E-Mail is more effective, and FTP can easily get it. Many publishers have used FTP to send and receive manuscripts. Foreign publication also provides new book catalogs, reviews documents, and E-Files through FTP. Most of the application FTP space requires payment, and the cost is different depending on the size of the space. Uploading and going through numerous FTP client software, but often need an account and password.
Self-built homepage and open blog. As mentioned earlier, many authors and translators have their own special sites or homepage, while the editing of the self-study site or home page is not much. I am also inspired after seeing an translator's home page. I have established my personal homepage in 2002.
Childchen.51.net). In the initial year or two, the home page framework is gradually and the content can be kept updated; and the last year is due to too many daily trivial things, negotiated and updated. As far as my personal experience, edit the construction of my personal home page, you can provide a good platform for the reader, translator, and peer exchange. The core is to serve readers. It is very important to be very important in time and effective content. In fact, in a very early, the IT publishing world of Tongren Zhou Wei (Netbook Yeka) opened its own online forum to provide services for readers (Yeka.bbs.xilu.com/), also attracted many authors to browse And communicate. At that time, I was still strange why she didn't heat the forum as my homepage. Now I am negoting to update my homepage, I understand that the personal home page is a considerable time and energy to maintain the attraction of visitors.
Today, more and more people began to build their own blog online and become blogs. This form is more free and flexible than the personal home page, but also a little more, and more interactive with visitors, it has gradually become an alternative application of the personal homepage. It is because of the outstanding advantages, Blog becomes a form of IT professionals and IT publishers. I personally visit Zhang Limin (
Blog.9cbs.net/limingch, Liu Yi (
Blog.sina.com.cn/u/1413193024), Mengyan (
Blog of the author of the technical author of blog.9cbs.net/myan. A few days ago, a colleague who was responsible for book marketing had just opened his own blog.
Blog.9cbs.net/xieqq).
Talking about so much, in fact, the network is in IT editing, both the technical field that needs attention, is also a tool for daily use. One is close, we seem to have a sense of strangeness and have intimate feelings. As the saying goes, "work in doing things, must first make a tool." Today, all major publishers have more and more emphasis on the construction of the information platform, which provides a good basic condition for editing using good network tools. Visitory Network has become an IT publisher handle.
