[David Howell · Rating 4 out of 5]

This appears to be a good reference book for developers who are already familiar with the basics/essence of PowerShell. As someone who is trying to learn/get an introduction to the shell, reading this book is like trying to drink from a fire hose. The book is huge. Just attempting to sit down and read it is too much. Typing in the examples as you go sort of helps, but there is just way-way too much here. It would take forever at that pace. Maybe I'll revisit this book at some future date when I've learned more about the topic from some other source.

Good coverage of powershell. Helpful if you wanted a physical reference to have as a companion while working through the basics. Not a bedtime read.
