Description

PowerShell scripts offer a handy way to automate various chores, however working effectively with these scripts can be a difficult task.

As you make your way through the chapters, you'll see how to efficiently manage large amounts of data and interact with other services using PowerShell Core 6.0. You'll be able to make the most of PowerShell Core 6.0's powerful automation feature, where you will have different methods available to parse data and manipulate regular expressions and Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). After having explored automation, you will enter the extending PowerShell Core 6.0 module, covering asynchronous processing and desired state configuration. In the last module, you will learn to extend PowerShell Core 6.0 using advanced scripts and filters, and also debug issues along with working on error handling techniques. By the end of this book, you will be an expert in scripting with PowerShell Core 6.0.

As a PowerShell enthusiast, I enjoy a good book on the subject. I always pick up some new information from every title I consume. However, I rarely come across a book as thoroughly useful as this one!So, you’ve picked up some PowerShell basics online, and you like what you see. You’re ready for a deeper dive into the subject. This book is a great way to transition from basic scripting to higher-quality modules and automation. Not only does the author do a great job of highlighting real-world examples (e.g REST/SOAP API’s, JSON/XML formats, .NET classes), he takes you further into building modules, testing, and error handling. Also, it bears mentioning that this edition has been updated to include PowerShell 6.0, whereas much of the material out there can be a bit outdated.Wholeheartedly recommended!

I use PowerShell everyday as part of my work.While I don't consider myself a master PowerShell user, it was not until I read this that I found a book that could teach me aspects of PowerShell that I did not know or shore up gaps in my knowledge that I didn't even know that I had.From XML, REST, Json, Modules, Pester testing, and other topics, there are informational nuggets here that anybody touching PowerShell would do well to know.I'll be recommending this book to people along with other need-to-read such as PowerShell in a Month of Lunches and PowerShell in Action.

Just got the book and my attempts to download the sample code from the URLs provided did not work. More later..Update... Seller made contact and described how registration on their site worked and that user name must be in all lower case...tried it and it worked...Now that I have the sample code, the book is much better.
