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 how to Recreate MOF based DSC resources as Class based DSC resources 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 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. I’m glad it was recorded so anyone who was unable to attend can watch it. The video from this presentation is now available.

This past Tuesday night, I presented a session on “PowerShell Non-Monolithic Script Module Design” for the Arizona PowerShell Users Group. The video from that presentation is now available. The presentation begins at 10 minutes and 30 seconds seconds into the video. The presentation materials to include the slide deck and code can be found in my presentations repository on GitHub. µ

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 Modules this past weekend at SQL Saturday #521 in 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”. The video from that presentation is now available: µ

A few months ago I created an audition video for Pluralsight on “Demystifying Active Directory User Account Lockouts with PowerShell” and I thought I would share that video with you, the readers of my blog site: You can also find this video on my YouTube channel. µ

Last Thursday I presented a session for the Central Texas PowerShell Users Group on “DRY: Create Dynamic Reusable Tools in PowerShell with Advanced Functions”. The video from that presentation is now available: µ

Last week I presented a session titled The Top 10 Considerations When Writing PowerShell Advanced Functions for the September 2015 PowerShell.org TechSession Webinar. The video from that presentation is now available: I received a question during the presentation about how to determine what the type accelerators are and the answer to that question can be found in this Hey, Scripting Guy! Blog article (thanks to Nicholas Getchell for the link to that article).

I presented a beginner level session for the PowerShell Virtual Chapter of PASS yesterday 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.
