Basics with windows powershell

by Prometheus MMS

Cmdlets are the heart-and-soul of Windows PowerShell, Microsoft's new command shell/scripting language. This series provides a task-based introduction to Windows PowerShell rather than focusing on the individual cmdlets themselves, the emphasis is on the tasks you can carry out using those cmdlets. These tasks include everything from reading and writing text files to managing event logs to sorting and filtering data.

Basics with windows powershell

I'm still reading this book -- slowly. Prometheus has a rather thin book, yet you learn a lot of basic coding in a short period of time. The beginning of the book made my face go blank, at first, because he throws a lot of the coding language at the reader. And I'm wondering what in the hell is a Child-Item? Who in the hell came up with the syntax Get-ChildItem? O_O Once you get through the first section, it all starts to click. It's not a book you can just read. You have to practice and not memorize. Utilize what you are learning, in PowerShell, while on your computer. That's the key to learning! No, I'm not a professor.
