Jaap Brasser

In this episode, Jaap tells us how he got into speaking at conferences. We talk about examples of how his support has helped people on their own speaking journey. We discuss a few of the recent talks he has given, from abstracting code to bettering your home automation. We get to discuss his Microsoft MVP being renewed a few hours before we recorded. Last, and probably most important, we learned that he submitted the slap with a fish function into Poshbot. A function that gets extensive use in our office.    Guest Bio and links: Jaap Brasser is a Senior Developer Advocate at Harness as well as a 7-time Microsoft MVP. If you are attending a PowerShell convention anywhere in the world, chances are pretty good that he will be there speaking about something new.   https://twitter.com/jaap_brasser  https://www.jaapbrasser.com/about/  https://github.com/jaapbrasser  MVP Profile  Think Abstract, abstracting your PowerShell code by Jaap Brasser

PowerShell & Global DevOps Summit. The Bar Sessions.

Episode Summary: In this episode, we got to become familiar with a couple of Justin's favorite things: deep dives into subjects and axioms. Justin has a lot of experience and insight into the "why" behind things, and he doesn't hold back from sharing his wisdom with others. We covered human topics, like how Justin has dealt with imposter syndrome and developed his social skills over the years. We also covered technical topics like VS Code, the latest PowerShell extension release, PowerShell's sacred promise, and more. For each subject, he has a surprising depth of knowledge. This is an episode worth taking notes on.   Guest Bio and links: Justin Grote has a passion for PowerShell. More than that, he has a passion for making sure everyone gets the best experience possible with PowerShell. He is happy to share what he has learned and how he has improved his life with it. From speaking at Summits and User Groups to creating the PowerShell Extension Pack in VS Code. His fingerprints are all over PowerShell, and the community is better for it.

Talking Crescendo and Documentation with Stevie Coaster

Jeff Hicks

Episode Summary: We caught up with Jeff Hicks at the PowerShell and Global DevOps summit. He talks about how he always wanted to be a teacher and how PowerShell has helped him achieve that. We also discuss the holy trinity of PowerShell Cmdlet: Get-Help, Get-Command, and Get-Member, which will help you find the command you need, learn how to use it, and give you everything you would want to know about the objects it returns. Those commands can help you move through almost any roadblock while learning PowerShell. We end with a general discussion about PowerShell, and what we love most about it.   Guest Bio and links: Jeffery Hicks is an IT veteran with over 30 years of experience, much of it spent as an IT infrastructure consultant specializing in Microsoft server technologies with an emphasis on automation and efficiency. He is a multi-year recipient of the Microsoft MVP Award. He works today as an independent author, teacher, and consultant. Jeff has taught and presented on PowerShell and the benefits of automation to IT Pros worldwide. Jeff has authored and co-authored a number of books, writes for numerous online sites and print publications, a Pluralsight author, and a frequent speaker at technology conferences and user groups.

The Value of Mentorship with Jeff Hicks

The PowerShell Podcast highlights what makes PowerShell so great, the community. Each week we want to highlight people, blogs, videos, and modules that have gone into making PowerShell so great.

Sean Wheeler

We caught up with Sean Wheeler at the PowerShell + DevOps Global Summit to discuss all things documentation. We discuss why open source is an open discussion and how documentation moving to open source makes for a lot of opportunities to help contribute to the PowerShell community. We discuss the value of the PowerShell blog, and how contributing to the blog can help you practice and improve your writing skills, get your blogs published, and provides an opportunity to plug your own site at the same time. Guest Bio and links: Sean has spent over 22 years at Microsoft and is now the Lead technical writer for PowerShell. He is extremely active in the PowerShell community, helping those looking to contribute with their writing. He also created the Microsoft Product Support Reporting, which collects valuable data to help troubleshoot issues in complex systems.

PowerShell & DevOps Global Summit (PowerShell After Dark)

I hope you are ready to learn because Fred hits the ground running with information and never lets up. We cover a lot of ground on security and PowerShell, covering topics like: Constrained Language Mode (CLM), script block logging, Anti-Malware Scan Interface (AMSI) and why you should be using it, and more. We finish things up with one of Fred's favorite topics: his amazing PowerShell modules like PSFramework, PSUtil, and PSAzureMigrationAdvisor. Friedrich Weinmann Bio: Friedrich Weinmann might be the most enthusiastic advocate of PowerShell I have ever met, and coming from a community where enthusiasm is the norm, that is a bold claim. He is a fantastic teacher and has helped many PowerShellers get started, including Andrew Pla. He is a Premier Field Engineer at Microsoft. Most importantly to him, he creates modules to simplify daily PowerShell. From his Magnum Opus PSFramework to PSAzureModuleAdvisor, which will help you convert your scripts in Azure as AzureAD and MsOnline become unsupported at the end of 2022. Quote from Fred: "Execution policy has never prevented a single attacker from running PowerShell if they really wanted to. It’s like you’re trying to protect your home and prevent burglars from coming in by putting a stone on your lawn. That’s the effect of the execution policy. They might miss the stone, they might break a leg, that just might save your day."

Securing PowerShell with Fred Weinmann

This episode highlights Matthew Dowst and his excellent PowerShell Weekly blogs on Dowst.dev. Then we talk about running PowerShell on remote machines and using Invoke-Command vs. Enter-PsSession. We spend a small amount of time on Just Enough Administration, allowing you to move some of your tasks to be handled by others. I finally make an error so bad that when I say, "Kelly can Edit that out," he is not able to! Not seen in the podcast was Kelly yelling at me in my office.

Stop Typing So Much

In the first-ever episode, we break down who the hosts are and why we started this podcast. Getting that crap out of the way, we get to talk about PowerShell! We cover Kevin Marquette's "Everything you want to know about" series, focusing on psobjects that we both have used to help our writing. We take a look at the module PsWordle and discover Jordan accidentally learned something. Josh King announced he has done a preview release of Burnt Toast and is looking for people to help him test, as well as join in the discussion on what could be next. Finally, we talk about why $null should be on the left side for comparisons in your scripts.
