We recently had two Tridion Developer Summits - one on SDL Connect 2019 and one in Amsterdam this week. On both occasions I more or less used the same two demo scenarios. The slides of SDL Connect 2019 Developer Day can be retrieved over https://www.sdl.com/event/sdl-connect/san-francisco/sessions.html, then select Developer Day at the top and at the bottom you'll find Reducing Deployment Effort and Automating Business Processes with SDL Tridion Docs. (I think you'll have to pass you email, but if you were on the conference we already have that anyway 
)
Quick edit, the video recordings are now available, the sessions are nearly identical
- https://community.sdl.com/product-groups/sdl-tridion-dx/tridion-docs/m/videos/4024 is the recording at SDL Connect 2019
- https://vimeo.com/378093731 is the recording at Developer Day in Amsterdam 2019 ... perhaps this recording has the better shared screen quality
This post will hold the source code of the ISHRemote Recipe script sample I demonstrated. Also the slides hold the ISHRemote samples with some tips and tricks and expected outcome.
Note that ISHRemote source code and documentation is on https://github.com/sdl/ISHRemote/ There are also previous webinars like https://community.sdl.com/product-groups/sdl-tridion-dx/tridion-docs/b/weblog/posts/automating-tasks-in-sdl-tridion-docs-using-powershell
