Why you can no longer afford to ignore PowerShellīatch. We started changing our teaching patterns, beginning with the many conferences we speak at each year. Like all good shells, it has scripting capabilities, but you don’t have to use them, and you certainly don’t have to start with them. At this point, we realized that PowerShell isn’t a scripting language It’s a command-line shell where you run command-line utilities. All of a sudden, our old teaching patterns didn’t work as well, because we had focused on scripting and programming. More and more administrators without prior VBScript experience started trying to learn PowerShell. As a result, we and the other folks who taught PowerShell wrote books and articles, and all adopted a teaching style that takes advantage of prior programming or scripting skills.įrom late 2009 a shift occurred. Back then, most of the folks using PowerShell were experienced VBScript users, and they were eager to apply their VBScript skills to learning PowerShell.

We’ve used and taught PowerShell from the early days (some of us from Version 1).
