It doesn't matter if you want to automate the provisioning of a new Microsoft 365 account, create a Hyper-V virtual machine, or get system information. You will need to script and you will want to do it the right way. This repository contains material from my [SpiceWorld 2021](https://www.spiceworks.com/spiceworld/) presentation.\n\nThe PowerShell script files contain demonstration code. These *are not* files to execute. Open the files in your scripting editor (presumably [VS Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/)) and review. Many of the files contain examples of poor PowerShell scripting followed by suggested improved versions. Hopefully, you can use these \"better\" versions as models for your own work.\n\n## Bonus Content\n\nThe bonus zip file contains a video file. It is content I recorded but was unable to fit into the final conference session due to time constraints. The PDF version of my slides reflects what I recorded not necessarily the final conference recording.\n\nBecause of the size of the file, it is not stored as part of the GitHub repository. If you download a zip file of the repository using the code button above, the bonus zip file won't be properly included. You'll most likely get an error about a corrupt fil when you try to open it. Instead, select the `PSScripting-Patterns-Practics-Bonus.zip` file from the listing in this repository and download from Git LFS.\n\n\u003e All of the material in this repository is offered freely for __educational__ purposes only. Nothing should be considered production-ready.\n\n## :book: Learn More :mortar_board:\n\nIn addition to the well-known [_Learn PowerShell in a Month of Lunches_](https://www.manning.com/books/learn-windows-powershell-in-a-month-of-lunches-third-edition?a_aid=jdhit\u0026a_bid=2326a8ab) book, you can find my other work on Leanpub.\n\n|   |   |\n|---|---|\n![PowerShell PracticePrimer](images/psprimer-thumb.png) | [_The PowerShell Practice Primer_](https://leanpub.com/psprimer) isn't a book to teach your PowerShell, but rather to re-inforce what you already know through 100+ console-based exercises. No scripting is required. Updated with PowerShell 7.x content.\n![PowerShell Scripting and Toolmaking](images/pstoolmaking-thumbnail.png) | If you have read [_Learn PowerShell Scripting in a Month of Lunches_](https://www.manning.com/books/learn-powershell-scripting-in-a-month-of-lunches?a_aid=jdhit\u0026a_bid=2326a8ab), then you are ready for the next step. Don Jones and I wrote [_The PowerShell Scripting and Toolmaking Book_](https://leanpub.com/powershell-scripting-toolmaking/) intending it to be the definitive guide on everything you need to know to be a better PowerShell scripter and toolmaker.\n![pluralsight](images/ps-skills-thumb.jpg) | I have been creating video training courses for over ten years. I have a large course catalog at [Pluralsight](https://pluralsight.pxf.io/qbR6n), with an emphasis on PowerShell-related content. If you are just getting started with PowerShell 7, [I got you covered](https://pluralsight.pxf.io/Lbvya) there as well.\n\n-----\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjdhitsolutions%2Fspiceworld2021","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fjdhitsolutions%2Fspiceworld2021","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjdhitsolutions%2Fspiceworld2021/lists"}
