PowerShell articles, tutorials, and guides from community experts.
I continue to be amused by folks’ reactions to the Games this year. There’s been some buzz on Twitter this morning from folks who feel some of their comments - and the corresponding low scores - aren’t warranted. In a couple of cases I’ve looked at, they’re right - …
We’re pleased to announce the winners for Event 1 of The Scripting Games 2013! Winners: You can log into The Scripting Games Web site and go to your Profile page to see your prize. You will be given a prize redemption code and either a URL where you can redeem it, or an e-mail address of the …
Aaron Hoover, one of our Summit attendees, was kind enough to record via webcam the sessions he attended - and he’s posted about 13 hours of video on YouTube for your viewing pleasure. What I’d like to know from you, if you don’t mind dropping a comment below, is what you think of …
