PowerShell

is awesome. I am playing around with it to make a script that can read an XML document and download files specified by elements. It also can then install the downloaded items, extracting zip files and whatnot, and checking the return code for the installers. The XML document can also have an (optional) configuration section that specifies the base directory for downloads, the default action to take when an install fails, and so on and so forth. Why not build a simple command line application to do this? I just want to learn PowerShell, and I already am having a lot of fun with it.

Plus the ISE is an absolute beauty, I just discovered it the other day. Now I have it open on my 4th virtual desktop. And write code there to generate the code I want to write :D

I am really only interested in PowerShell for the potential use I may have for it in Azure, though my interest is somewhat reduced now that my company is no longer considering SharePoint as a web CMS. Still, it can do some nifty stuff, and it sounds like you are well on your way toward using it exactly as it should be. :thumbsup:

Just messing around with it for a few minutes, and I already have a good feeling for how it works. Quite cool, I must say. I read a blog post (linked from the Insider News) that talked about a PowerShell-based project/solution format, and I am thinking of trying to get something like that working for the game development IDE I am working on. Might be a fun thing to do.

Be sure and make a Lounge post every other minute you use it, with complete details, and leave out no mention of anything related to PowerShell you come across anywhere (include links to the source please, unless it's a pron site). Without such nano-interval updates, the Lounge begins to deflate, and time starts running backwards, which plays bloody hell with the new reputation system that just got "off the ground." :) thanks, Bill
“Thus on many occasions man divides himself into two persons, one who tries to fool the other, while a third, who in fact is the same as the other two, is filled with wonder at this confusion. Thinking becomes dramatic, and acts out the most complicated plots within itself, and, spectator, again, and again, becomes: actor.” From a book by the Danish writer, Paul Moller, which was a favorite of Niels Bohr.

Seconded.:thumbsup: A key strength is its superior IntelliSense, as it displays method documentation at the same time.

Yes, it's quite good. Unfortunately, my only real experience with PowerShell was for SharePoint, and that part I am trying to forget :)

Meh. My only experience with it so far is a script I received recently that connected to VMware VSphere services to gather information about virtual systems and store the data in a database. I had some trouble getting it to work within SSIS. Eventually I rewrote it in C#.
