Well, it’s official. They send out the invitations last night and I am the presenter for the December 17th meeting of the Visual Developers of Upstate New York …
The meeting starts with pizza at 6pm and my presentation will start around 6:30pm. They ask for RSVPs (particularly if you want Pizza) and if they don’t get a sponsor to cover the Pizza, you may be asked to pitch in $4 …
VDUNY meets at the offices of Microsoft, at 100 Corporate Woods in Brighton (across from MCC, on the north side of Crittenden Rd ... near the intersection of I390 and highway 15A (East Henrietta Road). If you’re coming from the East, give yourself some extra time because East Henrietta Road is under major construction (otherwise, come up/down West Henrietta road, and turn on Crittenden at the 7-11). Here is a map to the VDUNY meeting
Hope you can make it! There will be swag, and this great presentation:
Windows PowerShell for Developers
PowerShell From 10,000 feet
- Think “DOS.Net”
- The Object Pipeline
- Cmdlets: a new command-line standard
- Windows (Administration) Automation
- Active Directory, Exchange, SQL Server, IIS...
Developers, Developers, Developers
- Not just an admin tool!
- Some tools you can use
- PoshCode.org, PSCX
- PowerShell Plus, PowerGUI, PoshConsole, Graphical PowerShell 2.0
- How do developers use it?
- RAD Prototyping (interpret for me)
- Testing (unit and otherwise)
- Scripting (it’s .Net, silly)
- Digging in (Command Line Investigators)
- Deep Dive on PowerShell
- Functions (in 2.0)
- Cmdlets (so easy, a caveman…)
- Providers (Containers, Items, and Properties, oh my)
- Hosting (did someone say scripting?)
Hopefully we can get through all of that. I could probably turn that same overview into a 2-day course, so we’ll be flying through some of it, if you see any gaps, or have questions about specific things … feel free to speak up in the comments below so I can make sure to cover it all…
