Introducing our latest contributors allows me to also introduce at the same time one of the biggest things to happen to Kentico within the last couple of years - Thom Robbins. Since leaving Microsoft and moving to Kentico, Thom has been making waves in the Kentico community, doing all of the things I’d hoped to do when I started the magazine, but doing them well, full-time, from the inside, and with full Kentico backing.

Unless you’re in the habit of writing little command line applications, Kentico appears at first to be difficult to automate, and nearly impossible to manage from the command line. At least, that was the case until the introduction of PowerShell, a dynamic language from Microsoft which allows you to script admin tasks that previously would have required VB, VBScript, or C#. Think of Powershell as an object oriented DOS prompt on steroids.

Adam Gitin of 4Hilton posted a comment on LinkedIn way back in January regarding the version control of Kentico managed data.

Not seeing much in the way of solutions coming forth I thought I'd toss our current investigations into the mix and hopefully stimulate discussion.

I'm posting here for those not yet part of the LinkedIn Kentico CMS User Group, but have posted the same comment there.
