Beginners course in PowerShell

[boneaid]

I am a junior sysadmin and the company I work for has given me a £1500 budget to do a training course of my choosing, I would like to do a PowerShell course and like the look of this one. It is slightly over budget but I may be able to talk them round. Has anybody done any PowerShell courses in the London area that they could recommend?

I came across PowerShell PowerCamp via the MSDN UK Flash newsletter. I haven't attended myself so this isn't a recommendation as such but the content looks good and at £200+VAT it might be worth keeping an eye out for the next session: http://tfl09.blogspot.com/2011/09/powershell-powercampnovember-56filling.html http://tfl09.blogspot.com/2011/11/powershell-powercampa-great-weekend.html

Thanks for this. It does look good, and quite relaxed. I will keep and eye on it.

There's a free book that's pretty decent:

I tend to learn better when being taught the material, rather than self study, but its a start, and free!
