You still need to validate parameters, but you need to anticipate what a user’s next move could be.

So I’m not against GUI, but it is a different mindset when creating a GUI app. “Just run this and click this button!” Doesn’t get easier than that eh? So should we all be creating GUIs? Well you should at least know how to 😉 Hence the workshop! GUI took away that initial fear of learning something new. Now you would think the manager would be grateful eh? Nope! They weren’t interested in learning or using PowerShell even if it solved their problem. So what changed? I can totally relate to June’s story about providing a script that could resolve a contractors problem.

We got a great introduction in creating PowerShell GUI app at the recent DuPSUG meeting by none other than June Blender! Just google June Blender… We’re being spoiled here!īack in the days June was also part of the “Real (wo)men don’t click” club. My PowerShell bestie, Michaja van der Zouwen, is all about the GUI! We would go back and forth about to GUI or not to GUI… Good times… I’m a big fan of the “Real men don’t click” club!
