Is PowerShell a Springboard?

I think so. I've used PowerShell to learn about Automation, SMO, WMI and object-oriented programming for starters.  Also, I've automated compliance reporting and ID administration tasks with it. On one occasion, I was troubleshooting a connectivity issue involving an app that used C#. I was able to read the C# code and troubleshoot the issue because PowerShell's syntax is very similar to C#. If I've piqued your interest, come to my session at SQL Saturday #49 in Orlando on October 16, 2010.

#sqlmovies

Yesterday's Twitter meme #sqlmovies was a lot of fun. My entries and the movie they were derived from follow. I, DBA is a play on the movie I, Robot. The Hurt Blocker obviously from The Hurt Locker. @WesBrownSQL's RT The Dead Locker was perfect. Lost In SAN from Lost In Space. And finally " what a query wants " from Amanda Byne's movie "what a girl wants"
