&lt;h3 id="what-is-the-powershell-conference-book"&gt;What is the PowerShell Conference Book?&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The book is designed to be a representation of what it&amp;rsquo;s like when you attend a conference. Traditional books have a singular topic, such as &lt;em&gt;&amp;ldquo;Windows Server 2019&amp;rdquo;&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;&amp;ldquo;Mastering Ansible&amp;rdquo;&lt;/em&gt;. But this book is not geared towards a single topic. Instead, much like a conference, it&amp;rsquo;s a collection of ideas all focused around a general theme.  All the chapters are related in some way to PowerShell and DevOps.&lt;br&gt;
The book contains over 20 different chapters, each written by a different author. The authors of the book are community members and subject matter experts who have graciously donated their time and knowledge for a good cause. Each chapter is similar in length and focus to what it would be like if you attended a conference and listened to the author present their topic to a live audience, except now it&amp;rsquo;s in written form. Imagine if you were able to capture those sessions and lock them into a format that you could refer to over and over again. It&amp;rsquo;s a conference in a book format!&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
