Wow, I finally got around to doing a little blogging.  This has thus far been a very busy year.  I’m actually writing this in the air heading to teach a PowerShell class in North Carolina and prepping my sessions for PowerShell Summit Europe in a few months.  When I start helping my students debug their issues in class, I often walk up to their monitors and see the error right away.  I am very cautious to point out at the beginning of class that the reason that I see their errors so fast is because I have made the same errors so often.  Here is one that left me scratching my head. While adding a valid parameter to a function that I was developing, I had this error in the ISE. I’ll be honest, this was a new one for me.  Looking at the message, I realized that there was a casting of string.  This pointed me to my param block. Sure enough, I placed a comma where I should not have. You can see it right after [String].  My bad.  Hey, all of us make mistakes.
