PyPyInstaller Powershell Module Initial Code Push
Pester is what's used for most Powershell testing. While it has some pretty amazing features, it does have issues with .NET class method mocking and sometimes scope can be weird. Here's a simple example:

Dev Stuff Distracting Me From Article Writing

Learn the basics first.
