What you'll learn:
- Students should be able to write and demonstrate basic to fairly advance Power Shell scripts.
This PowerShell course is specially crafted for beginners and intermediate learners who have little or no prior knowledge of PowerShell. That said, the course also covers several advanced concepts (check the preview) that can serve as a valuable refresher for experienced PowerShell users.
The course guides students from installation through navigating the help system to mastering essential commands of Windows PowerShell.
Each command and step is explained in detail, ensuring a smooth learning path that empowers students to become independent explorers in the field of PowerShell throughout their careers.
Since PowerShell is a vast field, I've focused on breaking down key concepts in depth, including:
A) Different types of commands, scripts, and cmdlets that can be run from PowerShell.
B) Object handling and piping — including Where-Object, ForEach-Object, and more.
C) Object sorting, manipulation, and formatting — using Sort-Object, Format-List, Format-Table, and others.
D) Navigating the help system for unfamiliar commands using Get-Help with keywords — for example, exploring Get-EventLog. E) Understanding virtual drive letters for environment variables and regular partitions using Get-PSDrive.
F) Managing execution policies with Set-ExecutionPolicy and Get-ExecutionPolicy.
G) String handling — including operations such as measuring string length and extracting unique strings from an array.
H) Different types of modules, functions, and aliases that can be managed and utilized within PowerShell.
