Session Topic Description:

Automating sharepoint deployment with powershell

The deployment process of custom SharePoint solutions can cause costly delays in delivery. Maintaining consistency within SharePoint environments is another challenge faced by developers throughout the project life-cycle.

PowerShell provides a useful tool to minimize these obstacles by automating the process thereby allowing developers to focus on the functionality of the solution rather than deployment. This session will discuss the fundamentals of integrating PowerShell into your deployment strategy.
