I’m speaking on August 9th at the Indianapolis .NET Developer’s Association meeting on Windows PowerShell. If you’re in the neighborhood, come on by! The talk will be geared towards developers, not admins, but hopefully it will help us (devs) think more about them (admins) when we’re designing and implementing our applications. That, and there’s always ways to automate our day-to-day tasks, just like Jeffrey Snover.
Due to the very short notice (I just found out a day or two ago) I’ll mostly be aggregating existing demos from the web and doing them live, as well as walking through using PowerShell much like Scott Hanselman did for his user group presentation.
It should be a good time - hope to see you there.

Ok, I got to stop reading blogs before going to bed. This one really shortened my sleep schedule! I saw in link to Jeffery’s automation example. Being a good engineer, of course I had to improve it.

I’ll be there and looking forward to it. Thanks for pioneering it at work. I hope it catches on within development.

This is great! I’ll be there. I’m hoping that with enough training, I won’t have to use a cheat sheet to know how to do things like “dir/s/o:d” in PowerShell.

Thanks Jeffrey! I’m on it. (Yes, I subscribe to your blog–who wouldn’t?)
BTW, if you know of any slide decks that would be helpful as a starting point, I’m all ears. I’ve found a few, but I figured you might know of some good ones. (Just maybe.)
Though I’d still like to keep PPT to a minimum–apparently it can be quite evil.
Thanks!!

If you aren’t already turned on to START-DEMO, you might want to give it a try:

It makes a HUGE difference for giving demos.
