I have been an IT professional for over 30 years. I have been speaking publicly and presenting at conferences for probably 25 years. I have presented to all types of groups, from small user groups to large conferences, literally around the world. As I enter the last part of my IT career, I am re-assessing…

Talking PowerShell
Hard to believe the year is almost have over. Other than the PowerShell Summit, most of my travel this first half of the year has been for private PowerShell classes. After taking some well-earned rest with my family I will be back on the road towards the end of the summer. I have a number…
PowerShell+DevOps Summit Reflections
I’ve recently returned from Bellevue, WA and the 5th annual PowerShell+DevOps Summit. Each year our event has grown and this year I think we’ve crossed over into being the PowerShell-related event you should attend. I spoke with many attendees who couldn’t stress enough how much they were getting out of the conference. For some, the…
NIC 2017 Slides and Demos
Earlier this month I had the pleasure of presenting at the Nordic Infrastructure Conference (NIC). This is still a relatively young conference as these things go, but you couldn’t tell based on my experiences. Given the demise of TechEd Europe, conferences like this are filling the void, and doing a fantastic job. The conference draws…
On the Road in 2015
As 2014 draws to a close it is time to start planning for 2015. Naturally it is still early but I wanted to share with you some of my plans for next year. As always I hope to get out as much as I can next year to talk about PowerShell and demonstrate how it…
You wanted it…PowerShell Summit Europe
For the longest time members of the PowerShell Community clamored for a European edition of the PowerShell Summit. This is an intense, 3 day conference on all things PowerShell, led by members of the PowerShell community as well as members of the PowerShell team from Microsoft. The conference is intentionally small so that you can…
TechDays SF Presentations
Last week I presented a number of sessions at TechDays in beautiful San Francisco. Met some great people and had a great time. I presented 4 talks, almost all of them PowerShell-related. Actually, they all had some type of PowerShell content. I’m happy to share my session slides and PowerShell demonstrations. Most of the demonstrations…
TechDays San Francisco
I’m very excited to announce that I’ll be presenting at TechDays San Francisco this year. The event runs May 2nd and 3rd. You can find the schedule here. Registration will be forthcoming. Seating will be limited so you won’t want to delay once it opens up. As you might expect I’ll be talking PowerShell, plus…

A question went out today about what authors of the forthcoming PowerShell Deep Dives book would be at the PowerShell Summit. We’re hoping to have the book out by then so you can get you hands on it. From what I can tell these authors will be at the summit: Adam Driscoll Jason Helmick Jeffery…
On the Road
After a long winter I think is time for a road trip. I will out and about over the next few months, hopefully speaking at an event near you. Many of the events are free or charge a small fee, but all I hope will be worth your time. These are the events I can…
On the Road Again
It’s that time of year again: conferences! I’ll be out and about a few places in the next few months and I hope our paths will cross. Here’s a short summary of where I’ll be speaking and when. If you are interested in having me speak for your group or perhaps you are interested in…
Turning CLI Tools into PowerShell Tools Deep Dive Demos
Last week I did a presentation at the PowerShell Deep Dive in Frankfurt about turning command line tools into PowerShell tools. A video recording should be posted later. But in the meantime, here is a copy of my slide deck, in PDF and a zip file with my demos and scripts. I have some followup…
PowerShell Deep Dive Europe
I’m happy to report that I will be presenting a session at the PowerShell Deep Dive in Frankfurt this October as part of The Experts Conference. The conference in Las Vegas this past April was amazing, intense and the most fun I think I’ve ever had. If you can make it to this show you…
