Course Description

This course id designed for all those, who would like quickly to get some essential knowledge regarding PowerShell and want to put hands on job.
The topics covered within that course will help you to understand the logic or way of thinking in PowerShell, while we dont concentrate on sophisticated topics related to some specific windows settings.
In the course you will find only video materials, no PDF-s to read or web pages to go through. But what is great is that for every lesson there is a short QUIZ that allows you to quickly check if you understand the topic. There are alsoEXERCISES for you. You should be able to solve them on your own, but if you have problems no worries, there are SOLUTIONS available as well!
Regarding the technical requirements, all you need is just a computer with Windows and PowerShell in at leastversion 3 installed and administrator privileges.
If you dont knowPowerShell at all or just only a little, this course is for you. Maybe you have already downloaded a script fromInternet, maybe you have modified it thats great! But if you had problems with understanding why the code is written is such and not another way, this tutorial should help you.
We start with basic information on how to start PowerShell console, how to execute commands, how to use help and step by step we come to more advanced topics.
PowerShell is a programming language, so you need to know how to work with variables, how to build the if statement, how to execute a loop, format output,work with pipeline...
So if you work with windows, you need or want to learn powershell quickly I recommend you this course.
Thank you and have fun!

Great course

By JEREMY ST CLARE on 9/26/2020

At first, I just thought this was an ultra basic course for total beginners like me. However it is so much more!
The lessons are short and well explained, the quizzes are appropriate and test what you've learnt without throwing in mad curve-balls that many other courses do, and the lab work is totally achievable based on what you have done.
The whole experience is one of empowerment. Few courses have achieved that, usually it gets too much of a grind and a struggle but this course makes you want to come back and do a bit more.
I'm not a programmer/developer, and don't consider myself as being particularly technical but I'm getting this - finally!
...and I'm half way to my first Udemy cert!!
Good job!
Addendum: Just completed it, the course got even better. If you are new to programming like me, then quite a few of the concepts introduced, like While loops and If statements are very useful takeaway's to other languages, including the OOP languages of C# and Java. Incrementing values too, is described in the most brilliant simple way.
Thoroughly enjoyed this course.

Good explanation and practice lab is also good

By Sergio Servin Gonzalez on 9/22/2020

Excellent course, slow speak helps a lot to understand clearly the instructions, examples used go for simple to more complex instructions making learning easier.

Need to update the Quiz & Course

I love the course content

By Jason Campbell on 7/9/2020

This was an awesome course. Some English language issues one some of the slides and with some questions, but if you push past that, there was loads of learning value to be obtained from this course. I enjoyed the question and answers section, along with the labs section. They really helped reinforce the learning. Have to keep reminding myself...it a journey, not a race.
