PowerShell Skills
Overview
This course is for anyone wanting to learn how to write PowerShell scripts to automate tasks. We will start with the basics, getting PowerShell installed and configured. Then we will cover basic
PowerShell scripting concepts and various PowerShell statements make up the foundational knowledge needed to write PowerShell scripts. After this we will apply the skills you've learned in some practical applications.

Hey everybody welcome to PowerShell,
I'm Mike Rodrick,
entertainer here at IT Pro TV.
And I've been working with PowerShell
since, gosh, since it was released,
since it was known as project manager,
right?
So way back when, quite some time, it's
gone through a lot of exciting changes.
Now, this course is really designed
to teach you about PowerShell and
hopefully how you can get started
in writing PowerShell scripts.
The cool thing about it is there's
no prerequisite knowledge.
We're gonna start from the very beginning
with installing and configuring and
then kind of work our way through
learning Power Shell and writing scripts.
And hopefully in the end you'll be
able to take this skill set and
maybe start automating some of
those tasks that you do at work.
Performing bulk operations
using PowerShell for
administration tasks, all right?
Now, the way we've laid this course out,
kind of divided it up into three domains,
if you will.
That first domain is PowerShell basics.
And this is where we're gonna
talk about the basics, right?
What is PowerShell?
How do I get it installed?
How do I figure out
what version I'm using?
What are some of the basic configurations
I need to do in order to be efficient and
work with PowerShell?
And then we get into that second domain
and this is gonna be our scripting basics.
Here we're gonna cover some basic
scripting concepts like for loops and
if statements, right?
And equality operators
in comparison operators.
And these are concepts that are used,
that all scripting languages share but
we want to take a look at it
from a PowerShell perspective,
how do you write an if
statement in PowerShell, right?
How do you assign values
to variables in PoweShell?
How do you create arrays in PowerShell,
right?
So that's scripting concepts that
are familiar across all languages but
specific to PowerShell.
And then that third domain is gonna
be our practical examples, and
this is hopefully gonna
be a work in progress.
We're gonna have some episodes in here in
that third domain where we take it a step
further.
We look at a little more practical
use of a four loop for example or
an if statement and some more advanced
scripting concepts like prompting for
user input, all right?
And hopefully as I said,
this will be a work in progress cuz if I,
I'd like to hear from you guys out
there and if there's a concept that
you'd like covered, that you would
like explored a little more,
something you're having trouble with.
Love to hear from you, maybe we
can create an episode about it and
put it in our library, so reach out
to me and let me know, all right?
So I'm really excited
about doing this show.
I love PowerShell, hopefully my passion
will come through in our episodes.
I love writing scripts.
I love trying to figure out ways that I
can automate things using PowerShell.
It's just a passion of mine.
And again we really designed this
course with varied skill sets in mind.
So hopefully everybody out there will
find something useful in this course.
If you're new to PowerShell,
like I said, started with the basics.
If you're familiar with PowerShell, but
you're new to the scripting concept,
we'll start at that scripting basics area.
If you're familiar with scripting, you've
done it before, but you just want to maybe
take it to the next level or brush up
on some certain areas, then jump into
that third domain and take a look at
those practical scripting examples.
So I hope you guys are ready for
this, let's get started and
dive into the world of PowerShell.
Thank you for watching IT Pro TV.
