I have been using PowerShell for awhile and would consider myself to have at least an intermediate skill set with classic windows based PowerShell. I was enjoying the book up to Chapter 4 and I could just not get over how poorly the topics and techniques were covered in this chapter. The title of the book is "Learn" PowerShell Core 6.0. This chapter was all over the place and not very easy to follow. I'm going to continue reading but if there are more chapters like chapter 4 in the rest of the book I would say you can pass on this one.(Update) I made it through all 500 pages so I figured I would come back and say a few Things. The journey you go on with this book is worth the ride. It is kinda all over the place but for a mid-tear primary Windows PowerShell user it was good to get some exposure to the topics. If you can make it though the whole book it might help you decide where you want to go next. What topic did you get really exited about. Maybe that can be your next book or class to continue your PowerShell journey. I gave another star and bumped it up to three. I still say this book is a good fit for current PowerShell users, not people that want to learn PowerShell.
