Ok, time for more shameless promotion. But, to tell you the truth, I didn’t even know one of the chapters from the PowerShell Unleashed 2nd Edition had been posted on NetworkWorld for download. That being said, I found it kinda cool when I learned about it from a posting on Thomas Lee’s blog. :>)
But, considering that I’m one of the authors on this book, it only makes sense that I should also post a link on my blog. So, if you want the free chapter click: here. This happens to be Chapter 2, which talks about mostly basic PowerShell concepts. So, for those of you just getting started and wanting to learn more, it’s a great starter chapter. For those of you wanting something a bit more technical, then you need to get the book (there more sales pitch).
Or… you can also feel free to ask me question via comments. I will either answer you…. or…. tell you I do not know the answer.
Lastly, for this week’s Japanese related item. I wanted to share a really cool set of videos on YouTube. These guys do some really epic and somewhat strange musical related performances, here are some of my favorite:
