BEST PRACTICES

Best Practices
• Write your scripts as functions that announce themselves1
• Comment Your Functions2• Follow the Verb-Noun pattern3•Use Source Control4
37
Self Announcing Functions
…
38
Comment your functions
<#.SYNOPSIS –a brief explanation of what the script or function does..DESCRIPTION – a more detailed explanation of what the script or function does..PARAMETER name – an explanation of a specific parameter. Replace name with the parameter name. You can have one of these sections for each parameter the script or function uses..EXAMPLE – an example of how to use the script or function. You can have multiple .EXAMPLE sections if you want to provide more than one example..NOTES – any miscellaneous notes on using the script or function..LINK – a cross-reference to another help topic; you can have more than one of these. If you include a URL beginning with http:// or https://, the shell will open that URL when the Help command’s –online parameter is used.
