Description

Installing applications on Windows computers is a varied experience. Sometimes it requires downloading an installer from a website, other times we can install from the Windows Store. In many cases the installer requires user interaction on multiple input screens. If you’re looking for a consistent and reliable way to install Windows applications, the Chocolatey package manager might just be what you’re looking for. In this course, Walt Ritscher details the many useful things this command line application installer for Windows can do for you. Unlike manual installations, Chocolatey adds, updates, and uninstalls programs in the background, requiring little user interaction. Walt explores how to use Chocolatey in PowerShell, and also covers the Boxstarter application, a tool that leverages Chocolatey to automate the installation of software and create repeatable, scripted Windows environments.

Instructor's Courses

I am a seasoned trainer, writer, and speaker who loves learning technology and sharing my discoveries with other technology enthusiasts. My enthusiasm for crafting software interfaces blossomed early. Just a few days after discovering how to move pixels around a computer screen I was devouring books on the topic of computer graphics and UI design. Teaching programming and UI design is one of my ongoing passions. I've taught hundreds of courses for universities, colleges, and private training companies. On the consulting side I've had the opportunity to work with customers like UPS, HP, Intel, Wintellect and Intuit. Now I'm a senior staff instructor at LinkedIn Learning. My content team produces hundreds of technical training courses for software developers each year. I'm creating courses on Microsoft developer tools and topics. I love speaking at tech conferences, I'm a frequent speaker at major industry events in Europe, Asia and the Americas. I received the Microsoft MVP award for thirteen years (2005-2018) I joined the ranks of video authors in 2002, producing a small series of .NET videos for Microsoft Press. 2010 saw my first video course on Lynda.com. Now I have hundreds of hours of video training courses available at LinkedIn Learning. My current UI obsession revolves around the Windows 10 and XAML based languages. If you want to know more about XAML based pixel shaders check out my "HLSL and Pixel Shaders for XAML Developers" book available from O'Reilly Media. I'm also a big fan of keyboard synthesizers, digital music and music production. Specialties: smart client , device and web UI technologies, audio and music production, writing, speaking, curriculum development, teaching.
