In the next module, you’ll see how to efficiently manage large amounts of data and interact with other services using PowerShell.

I really enjoyed this book. full disclosure: - i was given a copy by the publisher to review, but i would happily have paid for it. i am a Microsoft trainer, and deliver the Microsoft 10961 "Automating Administration with Windows Powershell" course three or four times a year; this book makes an excellent supplement to that course, especially now Microsoft only give students the electronic skillpipe version of the training material. The book not only covers but expands on all the course material, providing in-depth explanations, tips and tricks and pointing out some of the pitfalls. There are also a number of chapters on subjects that are not covered in the course that have become more important in the last few years, such as working with REST, HTML and JSON calls, and testing using Pester. Add in an excellent introductory chapter to working with .NET and all the powershell regex i ever want to see, and the book is a winner. i am recommending it to my colleagues and students.if there was one thing that could be improved upon, it would be the examples. i would like to see more 'real-world' examples, using things an admin might do, rather than some of the simple ones that are given to demonstrate the syntax.other than that, i loved it. i'll be forking out for a paper copy i can put next to my first edition "powershell scripting and toolmaking" book.

Great for entry level powershell users

This is good book for advanced programmers. If anyone wants to explore more codes, he should read this books at least couple times.

An excellent book to start with to understand and take your powershell scripting to the next level.

Giving 3 stars because I don’t consider this a “mastering” book. It’s more of a reference guide/learn it fast guide. I’ve read multiple books, and this book is lacking detail and content.
