PowerShell in the Browser: Safe Sandboxes and Interactive Learning

What if you could hand someone a PowerShell environment with zero installation, zero risk to your systems, and instant feedback? Microsoft MVP James Brundage is building exactly that—browser-based PowerShell tools designed for safe experimentation and interactive learning.

Meeting Overview: Join us for a hands-on look at two prototype projects that bring PowerShell to the web. Reptile (Read Evaluate Print Terminal Input Loop Editor) is a browser-based PowerShell REPL that lets you experiment with code without touching your local machine. Turtle brings interactive graphics programming to PowerShell—think Logo's turtle graphics, but modernized for teaching PowerShell concepts through visual feedback.

James will demonstrate both tools live, walk through the technical architecture behind running PowerShell in a browser, and discuss real-world applications: training environments, secure testing sandboxes, and making PowerShell accessible to learners of all ages. We'll also explore where these projects might head next and how the community could build on this foundation.
This is a special joint session with the Pacific PowerShell User Group—expect live demos, technical depth, and plenty of discussion about what's possible when you make PowerShell safe, accessible, and fun to learn. 🐢
