This Book is the Best
I’m a System Admin at work and a developer in my spare time. This is by far one of the best PowerShell books I’ve ever paid for. This book showed me things I never even thought of in my current scripts. It showed me that I can take my love for programming and actually apply it to my job. So I’m currently taking my scripts now and modifying them to make them more robust and powerful than I never thought it could do. I’ve even made my own modules. I almost fainted when I realized how powerful that was. This book is far from boring... trust me I’ve tried to get through a bunch, but the way the book is written is an easy flow. Just buy it, you won’t regret it.
