PowerShell - A Quick-Start Beginner's Guide

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 cmdlets: 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.

You'll find my personal notes and tips peppered throughout the book, making it personal and easy to learn.

Here is a preview of what you'll learn:

• Getting Started With PowerShell
• Re-direction & Piping
• PowerShell & Scripts
• Control Flow Statements
• Common Tasks & Cmdlets
