PowerShell Provider for IIS7
Last night when I was reviewing my blog feeds, I noticed an interesting post by Thomas Deml - http://blogs.iis.net/thomad/archive/2008/04/14/iis-7-0-powershell-provider-tech-preview-1.aspx on the use of PowerShell with IIS7. I have been intriqued by PowerShell for a while and have seen a couple of great sessions at recent Developer Day events. The IIS Team are currently working on a PowerShell Provider with which you can administer IIS and you can get hold of the first Tech Preview now - . I particularly like command line utilities as it reminds me of sitting in DOS and other command Shells. I love the appcmd command-line utility which can be used to administer IIS7. I like the new UI for managing IIS7 too but sometimes I just like to get a little geeky and sit and work in a command shell window :).

IMTC 2008 Review - IIS7 For ASP.Net Developers - Slides, Demos and Feedback
A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to be able to attend and speak at the Irish Microsoft Technology Conference in Dublin. This was and enjoyable experience and further lessons were learned and experience gained in the delivery of my session. I have forwarded my slide deck and demos onto the organisers at IrishDev but if you would like to get to them now, please find them listed on my Slides and Resources Page on this blog. There you can find the slide deck and an archive file of the extensibility example which I demoed. One warning with the example however is that there are a couple of practices employed in the handler and module which are no longer considered best practice. For this reason, due to feedback received in regards to the demos and in light of the fact that I was far from happy with the deliverance of my demos I do intend to screen cast this element of my session at a later date - hopefully sooner rather than later :).
