Carpe Scriptum! Make the PowerShell ISE Work for You
Hopefully you know that when it comes to writing PowerShell scripts and tools, you should be using at least the PowerShell ISE. If you are, odds are you are spending too much time writing PowerShell commands. In this presentation you will learn a how to get the most out of the PowerShell ISE. From snippets, to customizing the look and feel, to creating your own add-ons you’ll be eager to open up the ISE and get started.

Simplifying SQL Server Migrations with PowerShell
Imagine migrating SQL Server databases, logins, jobs, operators, and other SQL Server components with just a single command; this is what PowerShell can do for you. In this session, I’ll discuss the reasons DBA’s migrate SQL Server instances, some of the tools and techniques that are used, and the objects that are most commonly migrated, along with considerations that must be made for each. Then, I’ll perform a few migrations using PowerShell scripts available within my sqlmigration repository on github (https://github.com/ctrlbold/sqlmigration). Code specifics and current limitations will also be discussed.

Come spend an hour hearing and sharing practical, time-saving PowerShell hacks you can start using today. Start taking your one-liners and turn it into a crisp, clean, reusable PowerShell!
