My notes and commentary on puzzle 3 - working with a web feed - are now available: Iron Scripter Prequel Puzzle 3 - A commentary
As with previous commentaries I’ve not presented the faction specific solutions - view the forums and Slack channel to see what your faction and maybe more importantly what other factions have done.
Puzzle 4 will be available around the time you read this.
Enjoy

The speed at which places at Summit are being purchased has been amazing. We’re down to our LAST 25 places.
At present rates I expect those to be gone by this time next week.
If you want a place at Summit 2018 - BUY NOW.
If you know of anyone who wants a place at Summit 2018 - tell them to BUY NOW
Last year we managed to add about 30 places after selling our initial number. We’ll NOT be able to do that this year. We’re getting much better at working out how many places are, and can be, available.
This is the LAST CALL for registrations for Summit 2018.
A discussion and possible solution to puzzle 1 is now available at Iron Scripter Prequel Puzzle 2 - A commentary
Remember this isn’t presented as a definitive solution. It’s my view of the solution.
I’ve not provided faction specific code but rather a list of points the factions need to consider to be truly worthy of their faction.
You have overcome 2 challenges so far both involving code from the archives. In this challenge you’ll be called upon to create your own code. You’ll be presented with a task to perform in Iron Scripter Prequel Puzzle 3
How you approach this challenge is up to you but remember the goals of your faction.

As an update to the registrations for Summit 2018 - we’ve sold 75% of the available places.
As Don explained we won’t be able to add further places like we did last year.
This is our biggest (and hopefully best) Summit yet with more sessions and nearly double the number of speakers.
If you want a place I recommend not waiting. Last year we sold our last place on 24 February. If sales carry on as they currently are we’ll sell out for 2018 well before then.

PowerShell Core 6 is scheduled for General Availability release tomorrow (10th January). As such Jeffrey Snover and the PowerShell Team are hosting an AMA (Ask Me Anything) event on the 11th January from 9am - 10am PT.
“This is going to be a historical week for PowerShell Core 6 🙂 …Join the PowerShell team and @jsnover{.twitter-atreply.pretty-link.js-nav} this Thursday for the PowerShell AMA”
Add it to your calendar here.
Due to the timing I expect that the team are mostly hoping for questions related to the release of PS Core, although in the spirit of an AMA anything goes :).
If you haven’t yet checked out PowerShell Core 6, you can grab the RC release today and install it side-by-side with Windows PowerShell.
I have also written a blog post that explains what PowerShell Core is, why it exists and how it compares which I hope you find informative.
