PowerShell’s Hidden Treasure Chest: The .NET Data Types You Didn’t Know You Needed
PowerShell is more than strings, arrays, and hashtables — beneath the surface lies an entire .NET universe full of powerful but underused data types. This session explores types like HashSet, SortedDictionary, TimeSpan, but also datatypes that are available in .NET but many PowerShellians don't even know exist. We’ll dive into real use-cases, performance considerations, and show when and how to use these hidden gems to write cleaner and faster scripts.
Communicating with or without pissing people off
Communicating in a way so that people understand what you mean, but you don’t come across as rude or insensitive. This can be especially difficult when there’s a cultural difference, but also based on people’s personality. We’ll also cover why some people come across as aggressor or victim, where in neither case they are generally liked by others. Or why people help others at the cost of themselves.
In this session multiple conversational techniques are covered that can help you recognize this behavior, protect yourself when needed and help others communicate in a way that doesn’t piss people off.
Your own (advanced) PowerShell function template in 45 minutes
Over the years I've provided many PowerShell trainings and helped Ops people to become (better) scripters. When it comes to writing PowerShell functions, there is an easy way of writing a generic function template which I'll show you. During this, I'll also show you what 'wrong' output you get when you forget something, so by recognizing the symptom (wrong output) you can recognize what you forgot.
Howto: Not get a burnout
You hear it every once in a while: Someone that's sick at home, undergoing a burnout. How do you avoid this yourself? Do you recognize the signs? What are the signs? Can you maintain a work-life balance? Is it the same for everyone? If not, what is it for you? In this session I'll cover some of these topics that affect all of us, one way or another.
Microsoft365DSC - No more buggy changes into production
Customers that don't complain about changes you've implemented? No downtime or service distruptions when you push code into production? It sounds good, but it all comes down to making sure you don't push buggy code into production. During this session we'll dive in to how you can do all this by using Microsoft365DSC and a bit of PowerShell. We'll cover how to do it, the pitfalls to watch out for and naturally the stupid mistakes we've made so you don't have to make them.
