Back from the Pittsburgh Code Camp and my talk on PowerShell

October 17, 2010

HERE is the PowerShell code I demoed.

It was a good group of people. Lately the groups have focused more on, how would I accomplish this task in PowerShell rather than hey that looks like Perl. Plus, the entire group heard of PowerShell and most had tried writing and integrating with it.

A few attendees were either inheriting systems that have a PowerShell component or are hearing rave reviews from colleagues and wanted to check out PowerShell for themselves.

At the camp I saw someone presenting “How to Embed IronPython in C#”. It may be time to add “How to Embed PowerShell in C#” to my presentation.

In other news, Jeffrey Snover, creator of PowerShell, got kicked upstairs to his new role as Lead Architect of Windows Server. I expect this to be good news for PowerShell. PowerShell integration across the boards? PowerShell V3 features? Windows Server 2009 written in PowerShell? ;-)

IIRC, when Mr. Snover became distinguished engineer he attributed it to Microsoft management recognizing what PowerShell brings to the table.

Congratulations Mr. Snover, looking forward to what may unfold.
