❓ Quiz. Numbers

In PowerShell, we can use several different data types to represent numbers.
The two most common types are:
- Integers. Represent whole numbers.
- Doubles. Typically numbers which include decimal places or exponents.

$Int = 10
$Double = 10.0
$Result = $Int * $Double

What type results when you multiply integers and doubles?
$Result.GetType().Fullname

📦 Green Means Go - A (Visual) Mutex Demo

Why do I care?

More than likely you don't. But, if your noscript does some Asynchronous-Fu (think Jobs or ThreadJobs) and those worker-jobs share a log file you're gonna need a mutex. Otherwise those jobs will be stepping on each other - log entries will be missed...exceptions will be thrown...crying and nashing of teeth sort-of-thing.

📦 PSScriptAnalyzer 1.19.1

New Rule: AvoidUsingDoubleQuotesForConstantString (disabled by default)

When the value of a string is constant (i.e. not being interpolated by injecting variables or expression into such as e.g. "$PID-$(hostname)"), then single quotes should be used to express the constant nature of the string.

📦 PoShLog

PoShLog is powershell cross-platform logging module. Allows you to log structured event data into console, file and much more places easily. It's built upon great C# logging library Serilog.
