We’re looking for up to 15 recruits who want to learn PowerShell from the ground up and aren’t afraid to get their hands duty. This is unlike any other training course you’ve ever taken.

For you we will be offering a new 2 day Special Forces Advanced Training in Columbus on July 30-31, 2009. This class is for people who have been using PowerShell v1.0 for at least 6 months.

Managing the Registry with PowerShell, Permission Management with PowerShell, PowerShell and XML, Database Scripting with PowerShell, Advanced Tips & Tricks and whatever else your drill instructor dreams up.
