I recently created a YouTube channel where I do deep dives into creating automations with PowerShell. Instead of just publishing the solutions I take you through the entire development process.

In this video I go through creating an uptime monitor for multiple IP addresses that can ping each IP every minute. I go through the evolution of trying Test-NetConnection, then giving up and using dotnet objects for asynchronous execution. And finally, how to put that all together and get your results.

This is only my fourth video, so any and all feedback on it is welcome.

That seems an awesome concept! I'll queue the video up!

Thanks! I'd love to hear your thoughts once you've watched it.

Really enjoyed the format, looking forward to the extension of this in the next video!

Really appreciated the deeper dive and calm narrative along with the evolving code and demonstration. I feel like so many videos go into what without touching enough on why, so that was really good.

It took me longer than I would have liked, but I did finally get the next video uploaded. I hope you enjoy it as well.

Just spotted you mention it on bsky! I've queued it up, and will be jumping on a train to London later so will have a moment hopefully!

Thank you for mentioning it here!
