Feeling Blessed 🤩
As I mentioned in a previous blog it is sad not to be using Powershell Universal. It is just such an amazing product, that can really help you push yourself to new levels.
A while back I was contacted by the organiser of the Southampton Powershell group about doing a talk on Powershell Universal. Although I would have loved to have given the speech on this, I was not using the product, and it had been sometime, so I did not feel comfortable on giving a talk on something I was not actively using, as that particular product has evolved so much and keeps evolving I just did not think I was the best person.
However as I got actively building modules to try and help out the community, make myself a better scripter, and potentially find a new job from it as my work contract was coming to an end. So I got building modules that I thought were cool, or that hopefully other people would also find cool and useful. One of these modules was Retype, which I am sure I have said it, but it is what I used to build this entire website. Yes Powershell Retype Module and Notepad.exe is the two things I have used to build this entire site.
I know people who have paid for domain names and never hosted their site, because they never built it. Retype takes the pain out of making websites, and documenting information in a stylish manner. Then you can host it for free on either github or netlify like I have done.
So I replied to the Southampton Powershell Group organiser once I had got using this module I ported across to powershell as it is a .Net application and developed the cmdlets to run the 4 different tasks this Retype application can perform, and tested it out. I didn't think anything would really come of it as I know this module is no-where near Powershell Universal standards, but it does allow easy web development to document information from what-ever it is that you are working on.
Boom...I got a reply to say would I like to talk about this module at the next Southampton Powershell User Group meetup. Damn, I was like...yeah! So that pretty much brings me to why I done this blog is because it is now official with an event and a raffle, and not 1, not 2 but 3 Powershell speakers. Totally star struck to be speaking alongside Brett and Jaap, feels like a plan is coming together
