Jeffery Snover drops a secret about PowerShell. BITS, Background Intelligent Transfer Service. Cmdlets are coming in Version 2.
He blends this with Mitch Denny’s announcement of a PowerShell GoGrid Snap-in and offers up how to work with cmdlets requiring credentials.
Thanks Mr. Snover, super helpful.
Today the NY Times announced a RESTful API for Campaign Finance data(others to follow). In a few lines of PowerShell I am gliding through presidential contribution data by zip code. There are several ways to get at the data, each requiring credentials.
I’ll be employing Mr. Sonver’s suggestion.
