March 4th, 2010,

Sapien just released iPowerShell V2, which is now available in the Apple app store.  What is iPowerShell?

From Ferdinand Rios -

 iPowerShell is an easy to use reference tool for users of Microsoft’s PowerShell scripting language for use on the iPhone or iPod Touch. It contains full descriptions of each and every core PowerShell Version 2 cmdlet, their syntax, parameters and examples of proper usage. It also contains the complete set of “about item” help topics as well as provider and alias help.

Check out the Sapien blog for additional information.

If you have a third party PowerShell module or snapin with help, please contact Sapien (info@sapien.com) so they can integrate those help files with their next release.

PowerShell virtual user group (meeting #1 video)

Oct 21

Written by: Marco Shaw
10/21/2007 5:54 PM

I recently started organizing a virtual Windows PowerShell user group.  Our first meeting was October 3rd, and we had presentations by: Keith Hill (PowerShell Community Extensions), PowerGadgets (by Ivan Giugni) and Marc van Orsouw (PowerTab).

The resulting video (after editing) was 100MB, and I wasn't able to find a home for it as a single file.  I was finally able to put it up in pieces on my Windows Live SkyDrive account.

I've just put up a blog entry on my own personal blog here.  Each file is roughly 15MB-25MB in size.  I've split them up by presenter, and added a short blurb on what was discussed by each presenter.

I'll be announcing the next virtual user group here soon, but it will likely be December 4th at noon EST.  I am planning to have some more "PowerShell superstars" to talk at the next get-together also.

We had roughly 125 people sign up for meeting #1, and had roughly 65 join in and listen to the presentations.  Those are both pretty strong numbers.  I hope you can join meeting #2!
