New Book: Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Administration with Windows PowerShell

Wrox has a book on SQL Server 2008 and PowerShell HERE.  The book is due June 2009.

I just noticed that they have recently made the scripts from the book available for download.

The zip file contains: 76 .ps1 scripts, 26 .sql scripts, 2 .xml files, 1 .bat file, and 3 .txt files.  I’ve not looked through the scripts, but to include over 100 PowerShell and SQL scripts is super cool.

I can’t wait to get my hands on the book and review it…

[Edit: I originally reported 107 .ps1 scripts, but I was wrong.]

Upcoming book: Microsoft SQL Server 2008

I recently wrapped up another authoring opportunity: I've contributed a chapter on the new PowerShell features in SQL Server 2008 for an upcoming book from SAMs: Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Management and Administration.

It's cool to start seeing PowerShell showing up just about everywhere in new Microsoft related books coming out from all the various publishers.

Current release date is set for November 10th, 2008.
