I can honestly say that the interactions that I"™ve had with the PowerShell community over the past five years have been some of the most fulfilling. There is something to watching someone learn to script. Some plateau artificially mainly because they don"™t want to leave the GUI. Often they"™re forced into learning PowerShell and stubbornly go into trying to learn as little as possible. If you competed this year you do not fall into that category.
I loved this week"™s challenge as it had the right wiggle room to bring out the best in our participants. Of course, this is also the point in the games when we start to get everyone"™s “A” game. At this point even our new competitors are all warmed up and in the zone, and let me tell you the entries this week show it!   I want to start with the beginners as I actually ran almost every entry this week.
Again if you"™re participating in the games this year you"™ve already won! If you"™re not and you"™re reading this post what are you doing! I"™ve watched authors step there game up over the past month, and I can tell you from personal experience the games will make you better at your real job. It"™s like sharpening an axe, an axe made of super juice that can automate the world 🙂
This time of the year always feels like someone is holding down the fast forward button. I blinked and here we are Friday morning another week of scripts in the rear view. I spent most of my week in the beginner class this week, and was greeted by a combination of beginners and scripters who weren"™t quite ready to step up to advanced. More of the latter if I"™m to be honest.
Well guys, and gals another year has passed, and the annual scripting games are upon us again. After a week of reviewing submissions for their technique and style I must say that I am truly impressed! As a community the average ability seems to be growing by leaps and bounds. That"™s not to say we"™re all Samurai just yet, but we"™re getting there! Before I go off and nit-pick I want to congratulate you all on a small mountain of really well written scripts.
