I really enjoy going to TechEd every year where I get to meet old friends and make new friends. It is also a great opportunity to speak with our users face to face. The one thing I do not enjoy about TechEd (and this seems to happen every year) is that upon return to the […]

MSTechEd 2012
Well, MSTechEd 2012 is done. It was a great show, very busy, lots of PowerShell related inquiries and a lot of fun. We had a great location on the show floor, at the crossroads of two major sections, with great traffic and visibility. Robert Morey and David Corrales (lead developer on PowerShell Studio) worked very […]
Back From TechEd 2011: Does it support SharePoint and Exchange?
Do PrimalScript and PrimalForms 2011 support SharePoint and Exchange? Yes, PrimalScript and PrimalForms 2011 supports any module or snapin that is not bound to a specific host, such as the PowerShell ISE.

Back From TechEd 2011: Why create a GUI for my PowerShell Scripts?
Why create a GUI for my PowerShell Scripts? Microsoft Windows became successful because it offers an easy to use visual interface which doesn’t require users to remember console commands. Users still prefer a mouse click over having to type a command. One of the top reasons users create a GUI for their scripts is to […]
Back From TechEd 2011: PrimalForms 2011 is a full featured PowerShell ISE
We had a great show at TechEd 201. We’d like to thank all of the people who took the time to pass by our booth. I would like to take this time to answer some common questions we were asked at TechEd 2011. Isn’t PrimalForms 2011 only for creating GUIs (Graphical User Interfaces) in […]

Back from Tech-Ed: Can I read your e-books on my iPad or iPhone?
SAPIEN Press e-books are currently formatted as PDF files. Therefore, any PDF reader should be able to display our files so that you can read them. Of course, depending on your device, “your milage may vary.” Let’s take a look at how the Apple iPad handles our e-books. The Apple iPad has a 9.7″ (diagonal) […]
Back from TechEd: Is PowerShell more secure than VBScript?
The ILOVEYOU virus in the year 2000 gave Windows Script Host a bad rep because it simply executed every script you double clicked on. Now, mind you, I personally think that was much more the fault of the email clients that indiscriminately executed every attachment without hesitating and the users who where too infatuated with […]
Back from TechEd: PowerShell is hard to learn
It’s actually kind of funny. I heard the same thing about VBScript years ago, about C++ a decade earlier, and being aware that I am dating myself here, about C, Pascal, Windows Programming, VI, Emacs, punch cards, VT100 terminals and about rubbing two sticks together to start a fire. The point is, everything that is […]
Back from TechEd: What’s wrong with using Notepad?
Some folks wandered by our booth and after realizing that some of our products involve editing scripts of various languages reacted with statements like: “I use notepad, it works fine”, “Notepad is just on every machine” or “What would you do that Notepad can’t do.?” Others bowed their head almost in shame while admitting that […]
