When it comes to Powershell, Thomas Lee is among the best out there. Having had a hand in actually creating the Powershell syntax, and also responsible for several training sessions I've had the pleasure to attend, I had great expectations of this book. I was NOT disappointed.I know the basics in Powershell, and have started to create my own scripts. However, because I don't have a programming background, my syntax leaves a LOT to be desired.After reading some of Thomas' examples, and working through his logic, I started to see my own shortcomings and have gone back to refine the scripts I created and because of the skills I learned from Thomas, my management think I look good!There are other authors out there, who also know their stuff. But why go to the Rest, when you can learn from the Best?
