    • So far so good

I bought this the other day and it came on time. I was a little worried with the other reviewers stating their were counterfeit copies. Mine came in and I check that the free book code worked along with the front cover displaying the correct spelling. So far so good, I didn’t get a bad copy. Yay! Anyways, good read so far. Easy, pleasant to keep up with it. No grammatical errors that I can plainly see. Syntax and pictures are easily legible. Im studying this book so I can get better for my Azure studies. One thing I will notate, Powershell ISE is no longer being supported by Microsoft unfortunately and Powershell 7 doesn’t work with it. This book focuses heavily on ISE and the regular command interface. With that being said, if you have Powershell v5 or later then you should be able to run it with Powershell ISE no problem. The new kid on the block is Visual Code Studios so therefore that’s what you want to aim for when you get good with Powershell for Azure or AZ-104 certification ... show more

    • The Lab Questions are actually useful!? Yes, they are!!
I've been reading tech books since the 90's - typically every two or three years I want to learn something new. I'm not naturally good at learning tech so I tend to go through a LOT of books and resources until I find something that's sane, useful and delivers fast results. This is one of those resources!! I had to stop doing the first lab and write a review because question number seven actually anticipated something I wanted to do (save my command history into a text file so I could edit the good stuff to keep running notes!!) Seriously impressed and very thankful because so many tech books are utter garbage or only as good as yesterday's leftovers - some nutritional value but not very satisfying. ... show more

    • Be Aware That the Free ebook offer may be missing
The content is wonderful and great! However, on closer inspection the free ebook Manning offers with the purchase was torn out so I couldn’t get my ebook license. This was a new print from Amazon from what I could tell, and not a reseller. It might be better to get this direct from Manning as the ebook does help with evaluating certain code snippets. Also you should because the instruction is stellar and they do a great job making Powershell a breeze to learn. ... show more

    • There's hope for me after all 🤣
Review Image by Patrick Medley jr Patrick Medley jr
Don Jones and company have done an excellent job at creating a book that really helps you understand Powershell... From the basics all the way to actually understand how to create a script and what it means. It starts from the basics such as what parameters are, the difference between the Powershell CLI and the Powershell ISE environment, what objects and methods are... All the way to how you would chain cmdlets together to create more advanced functionality. Before reading this book I thought that I would never truly understand Powershell... But after reading this it's all starting to make sense. By chapter 20 you'll be able to at least understand how you would go about creating scripts and best practices in terms of formatting and sharing scripts within your organization. The chapters aren't super long either. Each chapter will come with a lab assignment to complete that serves as an avenue to practice what you've learned. I 100% recommend this book for beginners. ... show more

    • Awesome update to a classic PowerShell book
Had purchased earlier version and wanted to upgrade to later version. Exceeded expectations.

    • Great book even for people experienced but never did anything but copied scripts
Basically, I'm hoping that I can master PowerShell a bit better with this book, and so far I'm learning a lot even though I've lived through supporting Windows for a while. What I really like about the book is it does a pretty good job on breaking things up so that you can read them. I also like the labs at the ends of the chapters and I do them a few times to get the hang of things and remember them better. The book is also very well structured for self learning and serves very well as a classroom in a book. Well worth the cost. BTW, read this book first before you go onto Learning PowerShell Scripting in a Month of Lunches, as I purchased the scripting book first and as I was reading the forward it recommended this book because I wasn't advanced enough for it yet. So you want to start with Windows PowerShell first if you don't have a really good foundation in PowerShell like me. I'm hoping that I will learn how to create my own tools for auditing and responding to incidents in the network after finishing both books. ... show more

    • Looks Like I'll Be Able to Get a Grip with This Book
I am just a chapter or two into the book so far and certainly have not found anything I don't like. Things I do like are the organization around the concept of a month of lunches, the writing style and layout of the book, and I especially like being able to jump back and forth between the freely accessible Kindle and Acrobat electronic versions and hardcopy. Ultimately, to learn sometime like PowerShell and prefer to use hardcopy if I had to choose but there are times the electronic versions are just to ticket to pursue a point. If I make it all the way through, it will be like being given the keys to a super car. ... show more
