Earlier this month, I presented a session on Finding Performance Bottlenecks with PowerShell at the PowerShell + DevOps Global Summit 2019 in Bellevue, Washington. The session seemed to be well received by the audience based on the feedback that I received from the attendees. The video from this presentation is now available. The code and slides used during the demonstration can be found in my presentations repository on GitHub.

Last month I presented a session on Writing Award Winning PowerShell Functions and Script Modules at the PowerShell + DevOps Global Summit in Seattle, Washington. The session seemed to be well received by the audience based on the feedback that I received from the attendees. The session was also completely full.

Last week, I announced a new book for PowerShell beginners that I’m self-publishing. I decided to create a short video about the book and cover the topics from Chapter 1. The video can also be found on YouTube.com. The book (PowerShell 101: The No-Nonsense Beginner’s Guide to PowerShell) can be found on Leanpub.com. µ

I presented a session on PowerShell Toolmaking with Advanced Functions and Script Modulesthis past weekend at SQL Saturday #521in Atlanta. I decided to make an attempt to record my session which was presented live in front of a packed room full of attendees: The recording turned out very well considering I used the built-in laptop microphone and I moved around during my presentation. The audio levels have been tweaked because they were often too low depending on how far away I was from the computer at any given point in time during the presentation.

This past Tuesday, I presented a session for the Arizona PowerShell Users Group on “Making the Leap from PowerShell One-Liners and Scripts to Advanced Functions and Script Modules”.

I presented a beginner level session for the PowerShell Virtual Chapter of PASSyesterday titled “PS C:> Get-Started -With ‘PowerShell for SQL Server’". The session is entry level PowerShell and designed for those people who haven’t yet embraced PowerShell because I often hear “How do I get started with PowerShell”? My new answer: Watch this video. The first two thirds or so of the presentation is more or less generic because the basics for someone who is just getting started with PowerShell are the same regardless of what product you’re using it with.
