  • Julie - Day 23

    Today's lunch is all about debugging techniques. I knew there would be great lessons in this chapter and it did not disappoint. The chapter started with syntax errors. That's the polite term for "hey! You typed something wrong" or "No...

  • Anyone Got a Script I Can Borrow?

    One of the last chapters I'm adding to the next Learn Windows PowerShell in a Month of Lunches will be the most practical thing I can think of: A chapter on how to dissect some script you found on the Internet, customize it, and use it. It's probably...

  • Julie - Day 22

    Julie fell a day or so behind on her Month of Lunches - but not for lack of effort. Of the five folks participating in this experiment, she'd had the least background in scripting and programming, and the last chapters of the book get pretty meaty...

  • 2012 Scripting Games Commentary: Dammit, Janet, I Wanna Parameter!

    I've been looking hard at the Beginner events for the Scripting Games . As a writer and instructor, the mistakes beginners make are opportunities for me to teach. This year, I'm seeing fewer and fewer "n00b" mistakes, and instead seeing...

  • Julie - Day 21
