One of the primary reasons classes were introduced into PowerShell 5.0 was to support custom Desired State Configuration (DSC) resources. Using a class, it is much easier to create your own DSC resources. PowerShell MVP Jeff Hicks will walk you through the process of creating a custom class–based resource, including best practices and patterns as well as deployment tips and "gotchas." This will be a demo–heavy session you won't want to miss.

You will learn:

• How PowerShell classes work
• How to create a class–based DSC resource
• Best practices and design patterns for class–based DSC resources
