Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐If you are a Windows admin or power user, you have no choice but to learn PowerShell, or you will fall behind! There is no finer learning than this book or the course by Don Jones at CBT Nuggets.

⭐An informative book, good complex but well-worked examples. I will be coming back to this often to learn more as I progress.

⭐product as described!

⭐great book.

⭐Great book! Jeff and the rest of the contributors do a great job picking cool topics and then drilling down into them.

⭐the correct book as advertised and the shipper was very prompt in sending it

⭐Loved it. Great service and speed on getting the book in on time. This was exactly what I was looking for.

⭐Most PowerShell books fall into the general categories of manuals, training guides, and cookbooks. This book incorporates elements of all those things, yet manages to be none of them.If you’re brand-new to PowerShell, this is not the book to start with. There isn’t any time spent ramping up through an introductory chapter. It hits the ground running and doesn’t stop until the end. If you need that introductory material, start elsewhere, but wishlist this for later.Looking at the table of contents, it presents much like a cookbook. It shows specific problems or scenarios and promises specific answers. The book does provide all of those things, but you get much more than a bit of script with a short explanatory paragraph. Each subject gets turned inside-out. You are given an explanation of what’s going on. You are shown examples of bad script and good script. You are presented with alternatives. Most importantly, you get an inside peek at the thought process behind the solutions and approaches. Even if you don’t have direct interest or need in a particular solution, you’ll almost undoubtedly learn something valuable from each one.That is one of the great strengths of this book. Basic PowerShell is simple enough that most anyone can get through some basic operations and scripts without much help. For better or for worse, that can lead to an organic growth of knowledge in which a newcomer can reach a working proficiency level without ever really learning what the tool is capable of. This book fills in those gaps very well and does it by putting expert-grade scripting processes on display.To top it off, all the proceeds of this book are being donated to the Save the Children Fund. When you’ve got authors at this level donating quality work out of love for the craft and a desire to contribute to the community, you just can’t go wrong.

⭐Excellent Book, well worth the money and if you would like a tip then get it. MVP Goatee recommends it too.

⭐Great book
