When someone reviewed my deck they saw 84 slides and 10 demos and the comments were always started with: you have a lot there; are you sure you can fit it into 75 minutes. Yes I am \u2026. now \u2026 I can fit it into just under 74 minutes <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile\" style=\"border-top-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-left-style: none\" alt=\"Smile\" src=\"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/wlEmoticon-smile.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p>All of my demos were scripted using PowerShell. I ran the script, it would pre the lab, wrote-host the cmdlets, run them, explain what was going on, get the results, and clean up the demo. I will be sharing the scripts over the coming weeks on this blog.<\/p>\n<p>It was fun to do. I had some issues switching between the PPT machine and my demo laptop. And the clicker fought me at one point.
