In this special episode of The PowerShell Podcast, we celebrate the show's 1 year anniversary with a very special guest, Don Jones! Don is the founder of the DevOps Summit and has been a leader in the PowerShell community for many years. We chat about the origins of the DevOps Summit, the transition of leadership to James Petty and others, and the importance of learning by doing. Don also shares his tips for responding to recruiters, and Jordan gives himself a well-deserved pat on the back. Tune in to hear all this and more!
Guest Bio and links:
Don has been writing since 2000, although for the first almost two decades, he stuck with technology books. You know, those big, thick ones that seem to be sold by the pound. That included bestsellers like Learn Windows PowerShell in a Month of Lunches, Managing Windows with VBScript and WMI, and The Windows Server 2003 Delta Guide. In 2018 or so, Don’s career turned away from technology, and his writing turned toward fiction.
