Join us as the Charlotte SQL Server Users Group welcomes scripting expert, author and fellow-Carolinian, Ed Wilson as he presents "Best Practices for PowerShell."

Abstract:

Learn Windows PowerShell best practices as they apply to each stage of the script development lifecycle. See the differences between working interactively from the Windows PowerShell prompt, writing an inline script, adding basic function, advanced functions and finally the implementation of Windows PowerShell Modules. What is a local best practice for Windows PowerShell development is not the same as a global best practice, and this talk covers those differences.
