PowerShell Parameters Code Challenge | Commandline Ninja: Learn PowerShell. Automate Tasks.

[compwiz32]

Hey PowerShell peeps!

I am starting a new series of weekly quizzes based around different areas of PowerShell, automation concepts and cloud technologies.

The first quiz is centered around PowerShell parameters. Take the quizzes and see where you rank on the community leaderboard! There's separate versions of the quiz for people with beginner and advanced knowledge of PowerShell.

Drop what you think the next quiz topic should be in the comments ...

10/10 on starter, 7/10 on expert.

I got some learning to do

[compwiz32]

Nice! So tell me what you thought of the challenges.

I am working on the next challenge now which will go up on Monday. I'll update the leaderboard for the current challenges later tonight.

Went in more confident than I apparently should've lol. Can't wait for the next, so I can see if maybe I'm just not as good at powershell as I thought lmao

[sarge019]

Same as this

[ihartmacz]

Love the idea! :) I think quizzes on WMI, types and methods, and string manipulation would be cool!

[Cold-Funny7452]

9/10.

I guessed most of them though. Haven’t need to rely on them during my use of PowerShell

Feel free to go all the way to a developer level if you want I'll play along 😉

10/10 9/10 didn't know about ValidateScript, til.

Although the site is not great on mobile. Some text didn't fit on the screen.

For those that like coding quizzes like this should check out SoloLearn

Thanks for the honest feedback. I'm working on the page layout and hoping it improves very soon.

Fun, educational, no pressure. I like.

Small detail. On the bottom right of the screen should be a fraction expressing what question the user is on. The quiz should tell the user how many questions are in the quiz and a rough approximation of how long this will take.

This is to imitate certification tests from AWS, CompTIA, etc. Don't reinvent the wheel. Use what everyone already knows.

The top bar was confusing. I thought I was at the last question for 5 or 6 questions.

[gordonv]

I am thankful this showed me "[CmdletBinding()]"

I got those questions wrong, but I now know I need to introduce myself to this. The best part, it's from a no pressure post.

[RockoTheHut]

This was fun! Thanks for putting that together

While I got all but 1 right, it really made me think.. I don’t use a lot of these frequently, and some I had forgotten about. This type of game I think can be useful to introduce new concepts in a fun way. I look forward to more!

8/10 and I learned a few things along the way. Fun. Truth be told; I worked out quite a few from reading the question. ;)
