A quick note: We experienced some massive equipment failures this year, almost to the point where we were starting to seriously question our life choices. The end result is that we don’t have as many session recordings as we’d hoped. Jason will be going through what we do have over the next week, splicing together what we can, and posting it to the YouTube channel. We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding.
In just a week, we’ll be holding a live “Ask Me Anything” with Jeffrey Snover at PowerShell + DevOps Global Summit 2017. Now’s a great time to Help us queue up questions - drop yours in the comments below! We’ll be doing our level best to record the session, although it will not be live-streamed. We’ll post the recording and let everyone know where it is a week or so after the event.
Some quick updates as we prepare for Summit in a couple of weeks…
We’re pleased and proud to announce that Microsoft’s “The Scripting Guy,” Ed Wilson, and the wonderful Scripting Wife, Teresa Wilson, have agreed to join us at PowerShell + DevOps Global Summit 2017 (which as of this writing is almost sold out). They recently announced their retirement, so we wanted to bring them out for one last Summit so we could all wish them a comfortable and relaxed time! This’ll likely be one of our last chances to grab a photo and a hug, so be sure to do so!
After selling out in record time, we’ve worked with our event venue to rearrange how we’re using the space - and, as a result, we’ve been able to open additional seats for attendees! YAY! Hop on over to the registration website soon, because these puppies won’t last.
We’ve posted the first draft of the Program Guide, including the Agenda, for PowerShell + DevOps Global Summit 2017. You’ll find it linked near the top of the Registration Page. If you’re attending Summit, please check back a few days before the event to download the final version. We’ll have some hardcopies on site, but you’ll want to have the PDF downloaded to your pocket computer for easy reference. The Guide includes a bunch of tips and information beyond the Agenda, so we heartily recommend that everyone take the time to peruse its 12 pages of goodness.
We’re brainstorming ideas to have more professional, collectible attendee badges for Summit, while also reducing time at check-in on-site. If you’re attending or have thought about it, please take a moment to answer this one-question survey. Thanks!
If you haven’t taken a look at Tug, now’s a great time. Eugene Bekker has been doing a ton of heavy lifting, taking my .NET Core proof-of-concept code and turning it into a formal ASP.NET MVC project.
I’ve listened to a few of my Windows-friendly compatriots attempting to explain PowerShell to their Linux colleagues, and it hasn’t always gone well. The problem, I think, is that a lot of Windows folks don’t actually know why PowerShell exists in the first place. Let me explain.
I had a wonderful conversation with some team members around Windows Containers generally, and they had some very cool analogies that I don’t think have been publicized enough. There’s some good technical detail, too, which I think is worth understanding as we move into this brave new world of containerization.
