The Value of Writing Windows PowerShell Cmdlets

Posted in Corillian | PowerShell | Programming.

The folks at Channel 9 dug up another interview I did with Jeffrey Snover, PowerShell architect. Here's the one I did in November of 2006, for contrast. The project has grown

I think we filmed this in March. In this one I sing the praises of PowerShell and our team at Corillian that wrote "Project Evergreen," a deployment philosophy that turned into our Corillian Member Advantage product. Check the video out. Watch it via Windows Media or download the WMV. I hope you enjoy it.

Interesting. How did you incorporate Powershell into Member Advantage?

BTW, now that you are part of Checkfree does that mean you'll be hanging out here in Atlanta much? '-)

(Also, really nice real-time comment preview!)

Great video and interesting, as always. I had a thought for a future video cast or blog entry. I'd love to see you discuss in more detail how to build a system that makes use of cmdlets to perform the high-level activities as you discussed here. Perhaps just a basic Windows Forms application that invoked cmdlets to do some sort of business logic. I can't find many resources out there that covers this topic, yet it is mentioned frequently with reference to Exchange and in your video.

Thanks,
