Just 25 more days until PowerShell Conference EU opens in Hannover again. Time for some last minute information. Either use the free EventsXD conference app… This year we are finally using a conference app that is available on all platforms – including Microsoft Phone: eventsXD. Grab your free eventsXD app now, search for “PowerShell”, and connect to PowerShell Conference EU to start building your own personal agenda: http://www.eventsxd.com/download. In fact, the best implementation of this app is on Windows 10. Add the Windows 10 eventsXD app to your notebook to get a fully navigable agenda view. …or simply use PowerShell! And here is another “conference app” that runs on all platforms that we care about: below is a PowerShell one-liner that creates this “app”. It requires PowerShell 3 or better, and Internet connectivity. So here is the conference agenda in Geekish: (iwr powershell.love -UseB).Content.SubString(1)|ConvertFrom-Json|%{$_}|ogv This line opens a grid view with the complete agenda, including all sessions, times, rooms, and speakers. This simple line of code is in fact possibly the best and fastest conference app you can get: simply use the text box on top to search for keywords, topics, or speakers. Try entering “snover” to quickly find all sessions with Jeffrey Snover, for example. Of course you can use the object data for other things as well: import it into excel, print your own agenda posters, or add your personal sophisticated WPF interface to turn it into a true application. If you do something like this, let us know and contact me at tobias.weltner@email.de.…
