This month, Glenn will talk to us about PSake which is a build automation tool in PowerShell, inspired by Rake and Bake. Glenn will show how he converted from batch scripts to Psake for an open source packaging project he maintains. This will also include a small self paced workshop to create a PSake build script.



The presentation itself will be broadcast live on YouTube tonight at 6:30PM Central (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ce7nITzOr0c). We'll be conducting this meetup digitally via the Google Hangouts - after the presentation, we plan to open up the hangout to members for a continued chat. We'll be monitoring the comments and livechat during the presentation as well.



The presentation slides (https://speakerdeck.com/glennsarti/psake-good-for-more-than-just-sushi) are available on Glenn's SpeakerDeck (https://speakerdeck.com/glennsarti).
