... Android, Blackberry, Windows 7 Mobile or Palm? The simple answer is, unfortunately, no. But we have started looking into some of these other mobile device platforms, specifically Android and Windows 7 Mobile. There are so many cool and interesting features we want to add to iPowerShell, that it is taking up all of our current mobile platform development resources. If you are already an Android or Windows 7 Mobile developer, maybe we can work together to get iPowerShell out faster on those platforms. Contact info@sapien.com and let us know!…

Many of you folks came by our booth at TechEd and asked about our PowerShell training options. Inevitably the question about learning VBScript came up: "With all the power of PowerShell, why do I need to learn VBScript?" If you pose this question to any language fan boy it usually turns into a discussion about which language is better. But it isn't a question of better or worse. It's not a competition.

Let's face it, End User Licensing Agreements (EULAs) are a pain in the butt. Long drawn-out legalese that nobody reads (OK, some people read them but they are usually lawyers and they like that kind of stuff.) But for the rest of us, when that EULA dialog pops up in the installer, we pretty much all click "OK" to get past the screen without reading it. So since you didn't read that EULA, how do you know what you can and cannot do with the software you just purchased? Well, let's take a look at the most common questions…

We here at SAPIEN have all returned from TechEd 2010 in New Orleans. After reviewing our notes and working through the piled up email in our inboxes we discovered there there where a lot of common questions from visitors to our booth. So we decided to start a blog series that addresses these questions for those who where not at TechEd. First up: "Do I need to learn PowerShell?" In a nutshell, YES. We understand that learning a new language can be a daunting task. The reaction to PowerShell ranges from enthusiasm over the sheer power provided to raised eyebrows…
