Important PowerShell Features
-
I'm presenting an introduction to PowerShell on Thursday, and would like some input from any PowerShell users on what you think are important features that I should highlight. I currently have the cmdlet paradigm and object pipeline, as well as iteration and filtering of object collections. I plan to also include some background on creating cmdlets, as well as PowerShell scripts and functions. Anything else I should highlight?
I do not believe they are right who say that the defects of famous men should be ignored. I think it is better that we should know them. Then, though we are conscious of having faults as glaring as theirs, we can believe that that is no hindrance to our achieving also something of their virtues. - W. Somerset Maugham My New Blog

Hi, Arethmetic expressions, condiditional statements, variables and method calls come to my mind. Other than that it should be more important to show how powerful the whole concept is. I was overwhelmed after some testing. Make a good example: In our desktop client application we have a class which imports some specialized data and another one which generates a report out of it. Embedding those into PowerShell was really easy. Now I have a shortcut on my desktop where I can drag a data file onto and it then spits out a report file. All without having to start any application or creating an extra console application. Really cool if you ask me. Robert

Thanks. I keep getting overwhelmed by the examples I find while researching this beast. :omg: I'm trying to focus my presentation on showing people how to get themselves overwhelmed, rather than try and show everything. Today I focus on overview and slides, and tomorrow I'll be focusing on refining some demos. The demos are the easy part.

100%. It would be nice if you could publish your material somehow. *hint hint*
We are a big screwed up dysfunctional psychotic happy family - some more screwed up, others more happy, but everybody's psychotic joint venture definition of CP
