Listing notable PowerShell features
Before you dive deeper into PowerShell, it's worth noting down the features that have been added to PowerShell over the last few versions. They are as follows:
Improvements to the Integrated Scripting Environment (ISE): Many of the improvements such as Intellisense, autocomplete (tab completion), command window, and live syntax checking were introduced in PowerShell V3. Although subtle, the ISE has kept on improving through the versions.
OneGet: PowerShell's OneGet
has been added in PowerShell V5 to ease the process of finding, listing, managing, and installing packages from web-based repositories and installing them. If you have worked with *nix machines and environments before, this new feature is similar to apt-get
or Red Hat Package Manager(RPM).
