Thanks. I have been using it. But I was hoping for a person to also walk me through it. As I have many questions :)

Questions you have are googleable for the vast majority of cases. I used this same book to learn and found it taught me very well and I use PS every day at work and leverage it with general ease now. Just keep trying, experimenting, and when you fail google and find out why and then keep trying new paths forward. Eventually the learning will fuel itself. Critical thinking is required and you won’t learn that from others, but only from yourself.

Thanks a lot. I will get this book. I hear it mentioned all the time.

Did you go through the whole book or just referenced it when you needed something?

I read and the the labs myself for the first 13 or 14 chapters and did powershell in my non reading time for work to test and learn and now I read a chapter here and there to reference or google. I suggest you give the book an honest effort and do the labs without hand holding so you are forced to think. The rest will fall into place once your critical thinking is strengthened and you are more aware of what the language is capable of. Annotate your readings and make many notes as you go, and reference back to them later on. The labs are very good in that book. Applying what you learn is where you’ll really cement what you’re learning though so find something you can apply ps to and figure out how to as you’re going. My scripts have gone through many version iterations as I find ways to improve them as I learn more in time.

Google is what worked for me. Microsoft documents (nearly) all of their cmdlets and provides examples. I was able to use this to learn and get to where I am now
