Windows Workflows with PowerShell

Course Overview
Hi. I'm Thomas Lee, and I'm really excited to share my new Pluralsight course, Windows Workflows with PowerShell, with you today. For those of you who do not know me, I'm a PowerShell veteran. I was in that room in Los Angeles in 2003 on the day Microsoft first announced Monad, which later became PowerShell. And I've worked with every version of both beta and released of PowerShell ever since. I've also written and taught a huge number of PowerShell courses, a bunch for Pluralsight, in person, and I've also spoken at conferences around the world about PowerShell. I'm a real PowerShell bigot. Now the course, which has five modules, has several objectives. First we want to explain exactly what workflows are, and what PowerShell workflows are. I also want to look at what Windows Workflow Foundation is, and how that relates to PowerShell and PowerShell workflows. The core of the course is designed to show you how to write, debug, and run a workflow using PowerShell, along with a few demos that I'm sure you'd like to try out at home. Now in a departure from normal Pluralsight approaches, I actually have a module which looks at how you convert a set of scripts to a workflow. The most important part of that module is the lessons that I learned in trying to do just that. And finally, we want to give you lots of resources, both to reinforce the course details, and also to provide you with more information. So I think this is a pretty good course, and I hope you'll enjoy it, and I look forward to hearing from you.
