Easy to digest chapters， with very nice labs at the end to try out the newly gained knowledge。 It set me on track to use powershell。 It's not a deep-dive book， but it gives you enough knowledge to really get you started。 I really recommend this book。 Easy to digest chapters， with very nice labs at the end to try out the newly gained knowledge。 It set me on track to use powershell。 It's not a deep-dive book， but it gives you enough knowledge to really get you started。 I really recommend this book。 。。。more

Tory Davenport ，

Wonderful book to get started。 Might be a little dated now though。

Michael Murphy ，

This felt like more of a refresher of the sort I just needed to fully understand。 So tended to fly through it。 I do think it's way more likely that I'll throw together a script for tasks where dotnet is overkill。 Also powershell tends to be increasingly more for any software engineer eg deployment script。 So would highly recommend。Ps The wmi related side of things is deprecated from powershell 7 so I wouldn't overthink it。 This felt like more of a refresher of the sort I just needed to fully understand。 So tended to fly through it。 I do think it's way more likely that I'll throw together a script for tasks where dotnet is overkill。 Also powershell tends to be increasingly more for any software engineer eg deployment script。 So would highly recommend。Ps The wmi related side of things is deprecated from powershell 7 so I wouldn't overthink it。 。。。more

Jenny GB ，

I feel like I learned a lot from this book！ The authors really want you to learn about PowerShell and even better they try to teach you how to learn for yourself。 I highly recommend this book if you want to learn PowerShell。

Ietrio ，

Boring text on a set subject。 It will give the reader the convenience of a single starting point instead of exploring the Internet for examples。

hari ，

This book is the perfect start for some one who has little or no knowledge about poweshell。 I never enjoyed any tech book since the last time i read headfirst series。

Marco Janse ，

Still the best book around to start learning PowerShell。 I've read it twice now and I learned some new things the second time， because the book teaches you how to explore everything inside PowerShell。 It's very good written and very practical: you get to do a lot yourself， so you won't get bored。 Don't get put off by the fact that this was written for Powershell version 3。 It is still accurate for version 4 and 5 as well。 PowerShell is here to stay and if you are an IT Administrator， you will ne Still the best book around to start learning PowerShell。 I've read it twice now and I learned some new things the second time， because the book teaches you how to explore everything inside PowerShell。 It's very good written and very practical: you get to do a lot yourself， so you won't get bored。 Don't get put off by the fact that this was written for Powershell version 3。 It is still accurate for version 4 and 5 as well。 PowerShell is here to stay and if you are an IT Administrator， you will need to master it。 This is the only book you need to read to start using it in your daily work。 。。。more

This is an good book for people just getting into PowerShell scripting。 This will teach you the must-knows but it's up to you to progress beyond the basics the books teach。 I'd highly recommend the ebook on www。powershell。com which is free but this book is decent and should get your feet wet。 This is an good book for people just getting into PowerShell scripting。 This will teach you the must-knows but it's up to you to progress beyond the basics the books teach。 I'd highly recommend the ebook on www。powershell。com which is free but this book is decent and should get your feet wet。 。。。more

Great book for those looking for an introduction to Powershell。

Joel Tone ，

Excellent tutorial for people new to PowerShell and its capabilities。

Ryan ，

Good primer on PowerShell basics and how to get started。

Ed ，

Great introductory book。 You will learn to be productive with PowerShell quickly。

Ben Rand ，

While this book doesn't teach you PowerShell in-depth， I think it does a really good job of teaching you how to learn PowerShell as you go。。。and that's a really good skill to learn。 I think if you're just starting into PowerShell， this would be a good place to start。 If you already know some and are looking for an in-depth resource to go to when you get stuck， you may want to look elsewhere。 While this book doesn't teach you PowerShell in-depth， I think it does a really good job of teaching you how to learn PowerShell as you go。。。and that's a really good skill to learn。 I think if you're just starting into PowerShell， this would be a good place to start。 If you already know some and are looking for an in-depth resource to go to when you get stuck， you may want to look elsewhere。 。。。more

If you need to learn powershell， I cannot say enough good things about this book。 It is easy to read and well organized。 The author has divided the information into 28 lessons。 Reading each is probably about a 20 minute excercise and then give you time to do each of the labs in the book to reinforce the information you just learned。 Well written， easy to read and give you a VERY solid foundation for advanced powershell functionality。 I highly recommend this book。
