Developing a Web Application with PowerShell - Pode, the PowerFul Module

Web Applications are popular, and often require to either knowing some front-end development or using some other products which allow to build some applications. What about PowerShell, can you actually build a web app using only PowerShell language?

Yes, you can write a web app in PowerShell, and I'm going to show you how in this video.

It comes down to two PowerShell modules - Pode and Pode.Web - all you need to do is to run Install-Module Pode,Pode.Web and you can start building your applications.

I will be writing a simple password generation and management web app during video, and source code is available on GitHub - so that you can either follow me, or just grab source code and see how this whole Pode module works yourself. And since the video touches only briefly what Pode is capable of, I'm really looking forward your views and feedback.

Great video. Wish I could remember when/how Pode was discovered, but regardless, it's super handy, and you do one heck of a job relaying that. Cheers!

Hey Kamil. Great Video. Getting into pode/pode.web and having issues with the Azure AD connection. Where is the best resources to ask questions about this type of stuff?

[vikrantbirajdar]

This is just brilliant.. thank you for sharing it with us. Already started on a project to build something amazing for my team. Just wondering if you have any plans for more demo.. say for e.g. adding authentication/authorization to certain pages by team/ADgroups etc?

Great Video. I have been working on implementing this. While several pages are good to go live, I now stuck in creating the authentication page. I have ran several examples given the url. yet, none worked fine. Can you please provide once working example of login page. preferably the Windows AD one. Thanks in Advance.

Fantastic, best PowerShell subject for me recently!

[mahaalwoheby]

can you please show a video how to deployee the pode webapp on IIS ? I got inspired by your video and created a webserver but its only working when i execute pode start and not when I host it on IIS. but then my webapp is pretty much useless if i cant host it :(

[Shivakumarkalal]

How to add SSO LOGIN to this webapp, please create video for it

[brushenas]

Great Video. Thanks so much for the great content. Really appreciate your work

[AyanMullick]

Can the code be served from GitHub pages instead of this web server?

[francoisleon]

What a wonderful discovery! Do you know if we can create a web app protected with Azure AD with Pode? Again really nice job!
