“That’s so logical!” - It makes sense to use Azure Logic Apps

Azure Logic Apps are a useful, flexible, and inexpensive kind of cloud resource in Microsoft Azure that deserves serious consideration when architecting your cloud-native solution. Are you building a multi-step process that requires the control flow of a script, the durability of retries, timeouts, and requeue-ability, and straightforward integration with a host of other Azure resources? And, since you’re often collaborating with non-developers, what if your process could be low-code, self-documenting, and supportive of easy visual troubleshooting as the team reviews successful and failed runs? Finally, how about getting away from managing your deployed environments for this process by using a serverless hosting plan? Azure Logic Apps brings all these features, and even more!

Why Developers should love PowerShell

I'm convinced that developers should love Microsoft's PowerShell scripting language. It's truly powerful, feels familiar, and is available everywhere you look. From chopping up data to automating a production build process or client workflow, PowerShell is up to the task. A host of powerful commandlets, your favorite .NET APIs, and 3rd party modules are there for you. You can iterate quickly when developing scripts in the CLI or in VS Code. Ever since PowerShell Core released, it even runs cross-platform on Linux and macOS!

My talk will cover Beginning to Intermediate use of PowerShell. I will introduce the console, commandlets with verbs and nouns, variables and operators, script files, pipelines, and functions. I'll cover some helpful practices that I've learned as I've worked with PowerShell over the years, highlight some features I've found valuable, and point out some gotchas.
