I started out code-golfing Project Euler problems in PowerShell and later noticed that because it's .NET-based it can complement .NET development fairly well. Examples below are all things I did recently. Need to fiddle around with a format string to get it right? '{0:yyyy-MM-dd}' -f (Get-Date) Or need to quickly test a web service whether the new method works correctly? $p = New-WebServiceProxy http://localhost/FooService.svc $p.AwesomeMethod() Or quickly figure out whether a license key matches with the lib you have lying around anyway: Add-Type -Path key.dll [Key.LicenseKey]::Check('...') For me it dramatically reduced the number of ConsoleApplication8624 projects in VS. In any case, if there are questions you can also drop me a mail.
