About This Book

The Forever Edition of this book is published on LeanPub, an Agile online publishing platform. That means the book is published as we write it, and that means well be able to revise it as needed in the future. We also appreciate your patience with any typographical errors, and we appreciate you pointing them out to us - in order to keep the book as agile as possible, were forgoing a traditional copyedit. Our hope is that youll appreciate getting the technical content quickly, and wont mind helping us catch any errors we may have made.

Technical editing has been helpfully provided not only by our readers, but by Michael Bender.

However, anything Michael didnt catch is still firmly the authors responsibility.

Foreword

After the success of Learn PowerShell in a Month of Lunches, Jeff and I wanted to write a book that took people down the next step, into actual scripting. The result, of course, was Learn PowerShell Toolmaking in a Month of Lunches. In the intervening years, as PowerShell gained more traction and greater adoption, we realized that there was a lot more of the story that we wanted to tell. We wanted to get into help authoring, unit testing, and more. We wanted to cover working with different data sources, coding in Visual Studio, and so on. These were really out of scope for the Month of Lunches series format. And even in the main narrative of building a proper tool, we wanted to go into more depth. So while the Month of Lunches book was still a valuable tutorial in our minds, we wanted something with more tooth.

At the same time, this stuff is changing really fast these days. Fast enough that a traditional publishing process - which can add as much as four months to a books publication - just cant keep up. Not only are we kind of constantly tweaking our narrative approach to explaining these topics, but the topics themselves are constantly evolving, thanks in part to an incredibly robust community building add-ons like Pester, Platyps, and more.

So after some long, hard thinking, we decided to launch this effort. As an Agile-published book on LeanPub, we can continuously add new content, update old content, fix the mistakes you point out to us, and so on. We can then take major milestones and publish them as snapshots on places like Amazon, increasing the availability of this material. We hope you find the project as exciting and dynamic as we do, and we hope youre generous with your suggestions - which may be sent to us via the author contact form from this books page on LeanPub.com. Well continue to use traditional paper publishing, but through a self-publishing outlet that doesnt impose as much process overhead on getting the book in print. These hard copy editions will be a snapshot or milestone edition of the electronic version.
