As you may have heard, we’re launching a new “OnRamp” track at PowerShell + DevOps Global Summit 2019. Limited to 40 students, this will be a hands-on class designed to bootstrap someone into the technology and our community. There's a whole brochure about it!

We need to get the word out to potential applicants so that they know to apply!

LINQ is an incredibly powerful querying tool for performing look-ups, joins, ordering, and other common tasks on large data sets. We have a few similar cmdlets built into PowerShell, […]

Activity on the Iron Scripter forum and Slack channels has reduced for the last few puzzles leading me to believe that I’ve been giving out too many challenges. I’ve decided that this will be the last prequel puzzle: Iron Scripter Prequel Puzzle 10 There won’t be a puzzle 11. Next week I’ll publish the commentary for […]
