We're just about ready to go on Tech on Tap v1.3 PowerShell and cannot wait to get rolling on Saturday October 13th. We have three speakers this time around and this blog post is to introduce you to the speakers and their sessions.
Steve Murawski is the Senior Windows System Engineer for Edgenet and a Microsoft MVP in PowerShell. In this role, he supports a dynamic infrastructure that pushes the boundaries of the Windows platform. Steven also leads two local user groups, the Greater Milwaukee IT Pro User Community and the Greater Milwaukee Script Club. He speaks regularly to local user groups and can be found at various conferences.
His session: Windows PowerShell – An Every Day Tool
Abstract – Windows PowerShell promises to be many things.. a shell, a scripting language, and an automation framework. All that is great, but unless it helps you in your day to day job, it's worthless. In this presentation, I'll show you how PowerShell as a shell is a great productivity enhancer and lives up to its promise. We will also touch on building re-usable tools that further enhance your productivity.
Adam Driscoll is a software developer and team lead for Quest Software, upcoming author, soon to be speaker and PowerShell enthusiast.
His session: PowerShell v3
Abstract – PowerShell v3 extends and improves its predecessor in hundreds of ways. In this session we will look at new features such as Windows Workflow integration, native cmdlets and CIM support. We will also examine the improvements to the help system, cmdlet discovery and some of the other core functionalities of the language.
Abstract – With the introduction of Windows Server 2012 comes a new version of PowerShell. Windows PowerShell 3.0 helps IT organizations manage more servers more easily than ever before. It also promotes consistency of configurations and processes, helps reduce errors, and improves overall service availability; it enables end-to-end automation. In this session we will start by looking at what makes PowerShell unique and useful and then move on to the basics on how to use this powerful command-line interface for day-to-day troubleshooting, configuration, and automating common tasks.
