  • So far… meh

    I came here looking for details and information about how to use power shell and so far all I have found is cheerleading. And that is ok, but what I wanted was to dig into the substance of this tool.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The PSADT Framework Explained and What’s New in Version 4.1 with Dan Cunningham
Q: What advice do you have for people that regularly deploy large applications like SolidWorks, Revit, and how can PSADT make these deployments faster or more reliable?
Build a user interface to prompt users for specific options to ensure a tailored deployment experience.
PowerShell, OAuth, and Automation in the Cloud with Emanuel Palm
Q: What advice would you give to people who are thinking about blogging and sharing their knowledge?
It doesn't have to be great. You can throw it up there and someone is going to get a new perspective on a problem even if someone else has already written about the problem. By blogging, you learn better yourself and can help others at the same time.
PowerShell, OAuth, and Automation in the Cloud with Emanuel Palm
Q: How do you feel about the challenge of the work you do now compared to maybe your expectation when you were thinking about what your career would look like?
I wasn't sure where I was going after studying, because it was really hard to get a job in game development. Having the programmer background and understanding that APIs are a thing, you can automate things whenever there's the opportunity helps a lot in just the approach to processes whenever you get a problem ahead of you.
Turtles All the Way Down: PowerShell and Graphics with James Brundage
Q: Where can people find more from you?
People can find James Brundage on BlueSky as Mr. PowerShell, and at his website MrPowerShell.com, where he shares his projects and updates on developments in PowerShell.
Turtles All the Way Down: PowerShell and Graphics with James Brundage
Q: What do turtles have to do with PowerShell?
Turtles graphics are akin to the programming concepts that PowerShell incorporates, as PowerShell is a descendant of older programming languages like Logo, which used Turtle graphics to teach programming and mathematics.
