**Abstract**
Don’t Panic
The PowerShell Guide is not your typical PowerShell reference library. Envisioned as the Hitchhikers Guide to PowerShell, The PowerShell Guide is the brainchild of James Brundage, and is an open source living book that aims to be the standard repository for all PowerShell knowledge and wisdom, that is also a fun and entertaining to read. In this session you will see a tour of the site, how you contribute to it, and what is planned for future release. Plus, plenty of fun technical demos showing how PowerShell is used throughout to do everything from reviewing content, to building the catalog, and deploying the updates.
