PowerShell, like other scripting languages lets you get things done A LOT of different ways. Some of these ways are much faster than others. We’re going to look at a lot of the common pitfalls with PowerShell and see if we can work around them. We’re also going to see if we can make PowerShell... **Blazingly Fast**

We’ll put PowerShell through the paces and look at some of the following and more:

- foreach vs Foreach-Object vs .foreach() vs Foreach-Object -Parallel
- Arrays, Array Lists, and Generic Lists (oh my!)
- Where-Object vs .where()
- PSCustomObject vs Hashtables
- Filter left -> Format Right
- Function vs Cmdlet
- Native PowerShell command vs .Net objects
- PowerShell Jobs

At a minimum you’ll leave this session knowing ways to better optimize your scripts!
