Figures I would miss it this year, once they changed from winter to summer dates. The 2009 Microsoft Scripting Games are currently underway. It’s too late to truly sign up, but their challenges are as good as any excuse to start learning a scripting language. Such learning endeavors are usually killed by lack of ideas on what to use as a goal for early scripts. Events like this provide the answer!

There are only two script languages in use this year, PowerShell and VBscript. No Perl like last year.
