Hey all,
On 9/15/2012, I’m going to be presenting at Windows PowerShell Saturday in Charlotte, NC. I could not be happier. This is an amazing chance for administrators of all knowledge levels to learn something about Windows PowerShell from some extremely passionate people.
To give you a little sneak peak at what I will present, here is something from my presentation, Windows PowerShell 101: Intro to Scripting. This will be an introduction about how you can use Windows PowerShell to help yourself at work, how to use cmdlets to answer questions, and how to use modules to improve your scripts. You will learn just how easy it is to create, load, and review modules.
As you can see from the previous snippet, I will be using simple code samples, and I will show you how to format results from cmdlets for readability, how to pipe output from one cmdlet into another for simpler code, and how to filter that output to give you only the results you want.
As you can see from the previous snippet, I’m trying to make my presentation relatable so that you can see how Windows PowerShell could be applied to your work at the office. I hope to get lots of questions, so bring them with you.
~Chris
