Before you dive deep into PowerShell, you NEED know about one of the most important built-in tools: Get-Help.

In this clip, @lucasallman.bsky.social explains why understanding the help system is critical for understanding PowerShell faster.

Both Azure X-Ray by @posh.guru and Graph X-Ray by @merill.net are incredibly useful tools for turning portal actions into scripts. Two thumbs up 👍🏻👍🏻

Finally! Microsoft just shared an update on the Microsoft 365 Developer Program.

There's not much meat in it but it hints at Microsoft working on making it available again for free (don't quote me on this).

“It’s not enough for something to be versioned. If the process isn’t automated, self-documenting, and collaborative, it’s not bringing real value. The work might look cleaner, but the constraint is still there.”

I’m a big fan of being able to do as much as possible without leaving the terminal, projects like this make me happy.
The first release of the PSPodcast #PowerShell module is now in the PowerShell Gallery. It requires PS and the pwshSpectreConsole module. I recommend looking at the project's README file. This is designed for interactive fun. github.com/jdhitsolutio... /cc @andrewpla.tech
