Scripting Games 2011

March 11th, 2011 No comments

The 2011 Scripting Games begin on April 4, 2011 and run through April 15, 2011. What is the Scripting Games, you may ask? Well simply put, the Scripting Games are the premier learning event of the year for IT Pro’s and others who wish to master Windows PowerShell. Comprising 10 events, a registered contestant has seven days to create a solution to a scenario driven problem and post their code to a MVP maintained script repository for evaluation by a panel of internationally recognized judges. Daily leaderboards and prize drawings help to maintain the suspense throughout the two-week international event.

During the 2011 Scripting Games hundreds of contestants will submit thousands of scripts that will be reviewed by dozens of judges. Hundreds of thousands of spectators from all around the world will view the games themselves. Last year, participants from more than 100 countries participated in the Scripting Games. With an emphasis on real world scripting scenarios and problems, the scripts will be of immediate value to both the participants and to the spectators.

Preparation for the 2011 Scripting Games is already underway, with a learning guide, step-by-step tutorials, videos and other resources being generated on a daily basis. The 2011 Scripting Games all in one page is the portal for the games themselves. The 2010 Scripting Games all in one page is still available, as are the events from the 2009 Scripting Games.

Recently I wrote a couple of posts for ScriptingGuys, describing how to use SharePoint 2010 and PowerShell. Many of the examples from the post are from my and Mattias Karlsson’s book: PowerShell for SharePoint 2010 Administrators, which will be released October 29, this year.

March 8th, 2009 No comments

The Scandinavian PowerShell User Group is a joint venture of Microsoft PowerShell users in all of the Scandinavian countrys, Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. It’s a great meeting place where we can discuss various issues, thoughts and solutions.

There’s a repository containing PowerPoint slides from Richard Siddaways presentation that you want to check out. Richard is a PowerShell MVP from UK.
