This week's Wednesday Evening Training: a practical introduction to PowerShell

This Wednesday Evening Training we got a nice practical introduction in PowerShell. There was a lot of examples, handson labs and plenty of room for code walkthroughs, Q&A and discussion.

Why PowerShell?

Windows PowerShell is a combination of a command shell and scripting environment. It's quite useful for automating repetitive tasks, scheduling tasks and configuring components and services. This is indispensable for the modern software engineer, who also gets more and more tasks with system management tasks.
Even for Linux and Mac engineers PowerShell may be interesing: the release of PowerShell Core last January PowerShell runs on both Linux and Mac.

Thanks to our colleagues Niloufar Markazi and Carl in 't Veld who prepared and presented this Wednesday Evening Training!

Next week

In next week's Wednesday Evening Training, we'll be taking a look at Blazor. Using the Blazor platform, .NET web apps using WebAssembly can be build that run in the browser. In my humble opinion, WebAssembly will change the way in which we build applications. Using a common runtime code standard, it will be a lot easier to create, distributed and run distributed web applications. Until now we were stuck with patchwork of languages, frames and technology stacks. WebAssembly could change this fundamentally. There will be a lot to discuss, and Hans Harts and I  will be presenting some nice Blazor / WebAssembly handson labs to our colleagues to explore.
