Publisher's summary

So you want to learn about PowerShell? Let me guarantee you that there's not a better book on the market for that. Give me a minute of your time and I'll explain why.

First, a lot of books that are supposed to "teach" you aren't good at teaching. They either go too slow, explain everything in baby terms, talk down to you, and leave you feeling like you didn't learn anything, or they're something like a college textbook where everything is incredibly in-depth. The important thing about this book is that it understands that dilemma. If you're looking for a quick guide to get you started on PowerShell, scripting, and automation - one that will boost you from an absolute beginner to somebody with a firm grasp on the concepts that they just spent a bit reading about - then you're looking at just the one. This book has the perfect pace for your busy schedule.

Second, this book covers everything you need to know. We go from the very basics of PowerShell - what it even is, for example - to things like retrieving data and formatting and filtering through collections. In the meantime, we talk about things such as PowerShell scripting and how to get the most out of PowerShell by automating certain tasks using scripts.

The contents of this book include:

• What is PowerShell?
• PowerShell commands
• The programming logic behind PowerShell
• Scripting
• More advanced - filtering and formatting
• PowerShell terminology

You will be hard pressed to find a book that covers so much important information so solidly, and I guarantee that if you purchase this book, you will absolutely not regret it. In fact, you'll be too busy making super-efficient PowerShell scripts to even have time to regret it!

Ideal Book

Excellent! This book helps me understand Powershell. I was able to know the importance and how it was created thanks to the clear sample and explanation. Well written for a short book and it makes much more easier in all ways.

Great! This is one of only a small number of books that I usually recommend buying when learning PowerShell. Make sure to get the latest version if you're trying to pick one up used.

Been a great book so far. Sadly I wasn't able to keep up doing one chapter a day, but still I'm learning a lot from it

looking good

was looking for something that would help me start from scratch but this book gets too complex too quickly so if you are looking for great type book this might not be for you. I can see using it later on for sure

Great book

Great book for intermediate level. Helped out well with some scripts I had to write. I will say that still, I find myself going online to look at more examples of code, but still, it provides a solid reference.

Best Guide

Richard Dorsey has described very briefly about all of the methods.It helps me a lot. Thanks a lot for this type of books.

great project

I've programmed many languages and was forced to learn PowerShell from scratch on a high pressure project. Experience has taught me to learn the basics, like the intent and model of the language before just googling individual statements.
