Tomorrow on the PowerScripting Podcast

Our special guest will be Doug Finke.

Doug has been doing software development for more than 25 years. He started on the Mainframe as a Basic Assembly Language developer. The first scripting languages he encountered were REXX and CLIST. He saw how productive these approaches were and sought them out in each new environment he worked with. He has played with Lua, Tcl/tk, Ruby, Python, Groovy and PowerShell since it was called Monad. Doug currently works at Lab49 a technology consulting firm that
builds advanced solutions for the financial services industry in NY and London.

Coming Up Next on the PowerScripting Podcast

• Episode 51: interview with developer, author, and blogger Doug Finke (http://dougfinke.com/blog/). Record date: Dec 4th
  • Episode 5x: Jeffrey Snover (and possibly others from the PowerShell dev team) will join us to talk all about the new PowerShell 2 release (which we assume will be called CTP3). Record date: “December”

We"™re also working on finding a resource at Microsoft to talk about Data Protection Manager and the PowerShell support contained therein. This topic was suggested by a listener. If you have suggestions for the show, please let us know by emailing feedback@powerscripting.net.

Books All Gone!

Many thanks to O"™Reilly for providing so many copies of Lee Holmes books.  We gave away four copies each of the PowerShell Cookbook and the PowerShell Pocket Reference.

Also, we wanted to remind you that there"™ll be no show released next week because we"™re taking a break this week for the Thanksgiving holiday in the US. Next PowerScripting Live will be Dec 4th at 9pm EST. See you there!

Oisin gives us some info on new/changed cmdlets in the PDC build

Aww, you guys"¦ *sniffle*

We just received this feedback from a listener:

“I’m young, poor and have a baby coming in a couple months so money is tight and you all give me a wonderful possibility of getting some powershell resources without dipping into my pockets like everything else.  The funny part is, even though that is amazing, it is still not as valuable as the content from your show.  I have been listening to podcasts regularly for several years now and continue to listen to many of them.  This is by far the best podcast I have ever had the pleasure of finding.”

PowerScripting Live is tomorrow!

We"™re having Susan Bradley on the show tomorrow.  You guys should all drop on by for the live stream event so you can pester and try to distract us while we are paying attention to the interviewee.

Note: we"™re going on at 8:30pm EST (GMT-5) which is 30 minutes earlier than normal.

Oh"”and by the way, we may have a special guest after Susan.  Let"™s just leave it as a surprise.
