TechMentor San Fransicso speaker

I will be doing 2 talks at TechMentor in San Francisco on Monday, March 31, 2008:

#1: Building a GUI in Windows PowerShell

In this session, MVP Marco Shaw will guide you through using Windows Forms from the .NET Framework to build lightweight, fully functional graphical user interfaces (GUIs) that run within Windows PowerShell scripts.  You will be guided through the Windows Forms hierarchy and be shown practical and effective examples for creating, fine-tuning and using your using your own customized GUIs directly from within Windows PowerShell. This is an intermediate session: You should have a basic understanding of PowerShell scripting in order to take full advantage of this session.

#2: Managing Remote Systems the Windows PowerShell V2 Way

In this session, MVP Marco Shaw will discuss the new remoting features that will be available in the next version of Windows PowerShell currently being offered as a Community Technology Preview (CTP). This session will focus on the usage of: the new functionality that comes with the Invoke-Expression cmdlet and the usage of the new *-PSJob and *-Runspace cmdlets. The concepts of "fan-in", "fan-out" and interactive remoting will also be discussed. This is an intermediate session: You should have a basic understanding of PowerShell scripting in order to take full advantage of this session.
