Citrix Script Repo (aka Exchange)

I was recently directed to a new website (for me at least) that contains a repository of Citrix related scripts. There are some pretty useful scripts posted (and I started adding some Powershell ones.) You should check it out

I would also recommend RSS’ing Vishal blog (Dev at Citrix.) He has a passion for Powershell and I hope to see some awesome things from him in the future.

Powershell Information Central (work in progress)

I have taken some time away from actual blogging and decided that I would try to provide a central location for Powershell information of all different levels.

Of course its not complete (not sure it will ever be,) but It is getting there. Please take some time to Check it out:
Powershell Information Central

Overview:

1) Search: This is compressive Search of all the powershell blogs that have been submitted (over 25 so far.) It utilizes Google search engine. It works incredibly well.

2) Guides: This is biggest part of the project… Its gonna take some time and some help. Right now I have the FAQ provided by Mr. Shaw.

3) Blogs: A list of most of the blogs included in the search. If you find one missing… PM Me or Comment.

4) IDE’s: Links to the known Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for Powershell. Eventually I will add reviews as I use all of them on a daily basis.

5) Snap-Ins: Links to Snap-ins that make mine and others Powershell Experience much easier.

6) Books: A list of books that are currently or soon will be available on Powershell . ATM… its a list of all the ones I know, but I will trim/expand the list as I read them and can personally attest to the value of Book. Actually… since value is relative… maybe I will just rate them as a procure them.
