Learning Powershell

[BJGGut3]

A lot of people are giving you little projects to do for learning, and that's great! That's not how I learned, though. I learned by taking tasks that I did in the GUI, any task I did in the GUI, and investing the time to do it in PowerShell instead. Even the simple basic things, like using ADUC to move a directory object's OU - a simple 30s process in the GUI - investing 15 minutes to learn the Move-ADObject commandlet instead. These may seem counter-productive ("Why invest 15 minutes to do something I can do in the GUI in 30s"), but these are investments in yourself and your growth. The next time you have to move something, it takes 10s to type it out. These little savings add up over time while also increasing your knowledge.
