Good news for those of you who like to express yourselves in concise, yet powerful ways…

The Upstate NY PowerShell Users Group has just been formed for the Rochester, Buffalo, and Syracuse areas and focuses on ways to learn and utilize Windows PowerShell for administration and development.

Join organizers (and PowerShell MVPs) Joel Bennett and Jeffery Hicks for the group’s first meeting (from the event’s flyer):

Please join us as we kick off the Upstate NY PowerShell Users Group, serving IT Professionals from Central and Upstate New York interested in learning more about PowerShell . Meetings will likely be held in Rochester and Syracuse but please help us figure it all out by attending our first meeting.

For those of you in the area, it should be a great way to connect and learn about making life easier by using PowerShell!

Visual Studio Windows PowerShell Templates

I've written a few PowerShell CmdLets over the past year or so and, while it isn't difficult, there is a fair amount of boilerplate work that needs to be done - adding references, implementing PSCmdLet and PSCustomSnapIn, etc.

So, Channel 9 to the rescue, where David Aiken posts word of Windows PowerShell templates available for Visual Studio 2005:

This Visual Studio template adds a C# and/or VB.NET project template for building Windows PowerShell Cmdlets and item templates in both languages to build CmdLet derived and PSCmdLet derived Windows PowerShell Cmdlets.

Thanks to Don Jones for pointing out the link in his post on CmdLet creation.
