New Zealand’s largest, annual tech event returns in its 20th year to SKYCITY and Vector Arena from September 1 – 4. Previously known as TechEd NZ, this gathering of the brightest Kiwi techies has become Ignite NZ. If you couldn’t attend the event, and even if you could, you probably couldn’t attend all the great sessions available. That is why I created this PowerShell Script so everyone can easily download them whether they were present at Ignite or not! Here are the features:
- Downloads all the Microsoft Ignite New Zealand 2015 Sessions and Slides
- Groups them by folders
- Makes sure no errors come up due to Illegal File names.
- If you stop the script and restart in the middle, it will start where it left off and not from beginning
- Filter by keywords in the session title!
*Total size of videos will be updated when conference finishes & all sessions will be posted online!
Download the script from here! Do not copy paste from source code below!
How to use:
-
To download all sessions just run the script! EX:
.\IgniteNZ2015VidandSlides.ps1
-
To download sessions based on a keyword use the keyword parameters, and divide keywords by a comma. Make sure to use quotes around the keywords! EX:
.\IgniteNZ2015VidandSlides.ps1 -keyword “SharePoint,Azure,System Center”
-
To download sessions based on the session code, use the session parameter and divide sessions by a comma. Make sure to use quotes around the session codes!
.\IgniteNZ2015VidandSlides.ps1 -session “M216,M258″
