Windows Just Got Chocolatey (Package Management)
Rob Reynolds, Puppet Labs
Other platforms have long enjoyed package management, a concept that was mostly foreign to Windows. There have been a few attempts at it, but the only one that has had a large amount of success is Chocolatey. Chocolatey took a different approach that has allowed it to build on top of an existing Windows ecosystem. Learn about the simplicity and sensible design of Chocolatey, how it has started to serve the role of package management for Windows, and where we are taking it in the future.
Kids love it. Microsoft Approved! Chocolatey does some cool things that will save you time and money for your organization and make you look uber smart for using it. Come learn more
