Chapter 27. Never the end
Welcome to the end! Or is it? Of course not—you’re really just beginning, but you’ve made it to the point where you can start to be an effective toolmaker. Now it’s time to begin thinking about what comes next.
At this point, we’re hoping you’ve seen the light about this toolmaking word. It isn’t just about scripting, is it? It’s about making small units of work that follow Power-Shell’s rules, so that they can connect to each other. It’s about making controllers that put those tools into a specific situation and context, giving those tools a purpose for that moment in time—but leaving the tools themselves free to have another purpose at another time. Hopefully, you’ve also seen the value in examining how PowerShell does things natively and in duplicating its approaches in your own work.
