| Title | BluebirdPS: A Twitter Automation Client for PowerShell 7 |
| Abstract | In this discussion, we will take a look at BluebirdPS, a new PowerShell module for Twitter. We will examine some of the functions, including live tweeting, and then dive into use cases and an overview of the module design. If time permits, we will deep dive into the helper (private) functions that interact with the Twitter API directly and provide output including tailored errors. |
