Summary: The All Links on One Page for the 2012 Windows PowerShell Scripting Games is essential for monitoring the latest information about the games.
Microsoft Scripting Guy, Ed Wilson, is here. The 2012 Windows PowerShell Scripting Games begin on April 2, 2012, and they run through April 13, 2012. The Scripting Games are the premier learning event of the year for IT pros, devs, and others who want to learn Windows PowerShell. Think you already know all there is about Windows PowerShell? Then register to compete in the Advanced category and compare yourself against some of the best Windows PowerShell people in the world. New to Windows PowerShell? You need to learn it, and learn it quick. Windows PowerShell is rapidly becoming the essential skill for IT pros, and all the new applications from Microsoft are absolutely burgeoning with Windows PowerShell features.
Just like last year, each day during the games, a new scenario will appear on the Hey, Scripting Guy! Blog. And just like last year, you will have exactly seven days (until 11:59 P.M. Pacific Standard Time) to submit your answer. An internationally recognized panel of judges (a veritable who’s who in the Windows PowerShell world) will grade your submissions. Daily leaderboards and random prize drawings will keep the interest in this exciting event to a near fever pitch for the duration of the games.
This page includes all the essential links for the 2012 Scripting Games. Add this page to your Favorites list, and check back on a daily basis. For that matter, add a tab to your browser, and make it one of your Home pages. As we progress through the games, I will be filling in the blanks.
