Chapter 2. Building Blocks

Even though books, videos, and the Internet can be helpful in your efforts to learn PowerShell, you will find that your greatest ally in this quest is PowerShell itself. In this chapter, we will look at two fundamental weapons in any PowerShell scripter's arsenal, the Get-Command and Get-Help cmdlets. The topics covered in this chapter include the following:

  • Finding commands using Get-Command
  • Finding commands using tab completion
  • Using Get-Help to understand cmdlets
  • Interpreting the command syntax
