MY 2014 Public POWERCLASS is Now Open for Registration
I’m going to be running a 3-day POWERCLASS April 2, 3, and 4 near Raleigh-Durham, NC! You can get full details on my company’s website, including pricing and class descriptions.
Don’t leave near Raleigh-Durham? Well, it’s a fun place, and not that expensive to visit. More importantly, I’m not going to be doing a huge road-show and visiting a bunch of cities. Right now, my schedule is almost full through _September, _so this may well be the only public class I do in 2014. It might therefore be worth your while to take a short trip!
The class will be VERY limited in size - just 16 students, max, and I’ll be happy with a bunch fewer. This is a hardcore class. We’re going to assume you’ve conquered the basics of Windows PowerShell and that you’re looking to implement best practices, start using PowerShell for real production tasks, and learn more about PowerShell performance and troubleshooting. It’s a “bring your own laptop” hands-on class, too, so you’ll get tons of hands-on time with an instructor who really cares about what you learn.
This is all-new material, and you won’t find it anyplace else. It’s applicable to v2 through v4, although some things - we WILL be covering DSC, for example - only apply to specific versions (and you’ll learn which is which as we go).
It’s the best PowerShell class I could come up with - I hope you’ll join me.

Iron Scripter: Learn PowerShell through code challenges
Hello, friends! Today I want to talk about the Iron Scripter code challenges and the accompanying website. The challenges are excellent for practicing challenging concepts. What’s that you say? Not familiar with Iron Scripter? Let’s get you up to speed. Iron Scripter: A brief history lesson The Iron Scripter website is part of the PowerShell.org family and provides material for the Iron Scripter challenge that takes place at PowerShell Summit each year.
A Peculiar Parse
One of the best enhancements to Powershell was the inclusion of custom classes in v5. We originally wrote scripts, then we wrote cmdlets, followed by modules, and now we’ve graduated, with Class. I recently decided I wanted to write some code that would build a website. What better way to do that than by creating a class just for me? That’s rhetorical by the way. My early class code looked like this:
We Need Your Help.
We need your help.
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’re also offering a number of free-ride scholarships designed to cover admission, air, and hotel, to help increase the diversity of our field and community right at the top of the funnel. Half of our scholarships will be awarded to individuals from groups that are traditionally underrepresented in IT, and that’s where we need your help.
We need to get the word out to potential applicants so that they know to apply!
