Create new website slides #2

slide - Exercise: 
Add a Web Site with Powershell_script resource-

The lesson of the slide is manually controlling idempotence.

I feel the lesson is lost with the amount of powershell we ask students to type. We don't teach a powershell or a windows management class, so I feel it's not reasonable to ask students to type everything on the new slides.

Historically - I nuked a dependency on a windows cookbook to simply the deck. I think it would be a better lesson to teach windows cookbook here as opposed to sending students directly to the gist.

looks like the roles excercise has been fixed to work properly - whatever is decided here, will need to be carried through the roles part.

:+1: to this. This is a truly painful portion of the setup, and it turns the class from Chef into "Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing". Although it is nice later (this is true only in presales/hack day set ups) when you can use community cookbooks, etc, and show all the delight.
