As we get closer to a release candidate for PowerShell 7.3, learn about the new capabilities and features in PowerShell 7 to be more productive.Principal Software Engineer Manager for the ...PowerShell Team delivering PowerShell 7, VSCode-PowerShell extension, PSEditorServices, PSScriptAnalyzer, PowerShellGallery, PowerShellGet, PowerShell dotnet-interactive Jupyter sub-kernel, Win32 OpenSSH, etc...
Notes from Steve Lee:
If you watch my session, I was getting $LASTEXITCODE being -1 during my demo, when it should have been 2. Turns out it was due to my profile calling `git` to show a custom prompt. So the lesson is to use `-noprofile` for demos 🙂Show More

It was time that dbachecks was updated to use the latest version of Pester.
We also decided to improve the performance as we updated and to use dev containers to ensure ...the development environment was the same for everyone.
Let's take a look at somelessons we learnt and some of the tactics we used
Rob Sewell
Be-Whiskered Maker of Things
Microsoft MVP (verified)
Rob was a SQL Server DBA with a passion for PowerShell, Azure, Automation, and SQL (PaaS geddit?). Now he just helps people make things. He is a Cloud and Data Center MVP and a Data Platform MVP, co-leader of Data South West UK User Group and PSConf EU organiser and has spoken at and volunteered at many Data and PowerShell events all over the world. He is a proud supporter of the Data and PowerShell communities.
He relishes sharing and learning and can be found doing both via Twitter and his blog. He spends most of his time looking at a screen and loves to solve problems. He knows that looking at a screen so much is bad for him because his wife tells him so. Thus, he is often out riding his bike as his eyes are not good enough to play cricket any more

The .NET base class library affords PowerShell users with an array of "archetypal" collection types: multiple kinds of Lists, Stacks, Sets, Dictionaries and so on. But why are there so ...many, what are they good for, and how do you use them?
I'll take the audience on a quick historical tour of fundamental data types in the context of computers, after which we'll examine the different types and their characteristica from inside PowerShell - exploring what kinds of problems each of the solve well, how to pick appropriate type constraints, and how to profile them for performance.
