Reminder, there will be no PowerScripting Live this week due to the US Thanksgiving holiday. Next live show is Dec 1st. This means the next episode won"™t be released on the website/iTunes until Dec 7th. That said, we don"™t want to leave you hungry! With that in mind, here"™s a couple of resources for the new scripters out there. Even if you aren"™t a newbie, you should check out both of these resources as there are plenty of tips within which you may not have come across before.

Who is Rock Hard Awesome? 🙂
We are very excited to welcome Jeff Atwood, perhaps better known as @codinghorror on Twitter, to the podcast tonight.
Jeff has an extremely popular blog at CodingHorror.com where he discusses software development best practices. In addition, he is one of the masterminds behind StackOverflow and ServerFault, two very important websites for PowerShell hackers.
It should be a great interview, Jeff is a very dynamic speaker as you already know if you listen to the StackOverflow podcast.
