Hello,
In the last month I have read many books and articles about PowerShell.
Many have one thing in common. From a certain point on, when it comes down to "how to solve your problems", some of them lack this information.
They are all good books to understand PowerShell, but this one, Lee Holmes Cookbook, gives you this additional piece of information.
The five different parts
Tour, Fundamentals, Common Tasks, Administrator Tasks and the References give the "new to scripting person" as well as the "scripting dinosaur" a collection of information they can use on a daily basis.
Many of the recipes reference or build on top of each other.
It can happen that you pick one special recipe e.g. "Create a Registry Key Value". It is, as usual in PowerShell, a one-liner. But you will not be successful in using this script without the information of the chapter "Navigate the Registry".
One more thing that makes this book different to many others is the very useful last part, the Reference. Much of the basics you need to be more successful with PowerShell are collected here.
Especially for the "I'm not a developer"-fraction of the scripting administrators like me ;-)
Having this book on your shelf or better on your desk is a "must have" for all PowerShell users.
Best regards from the
