good to structure your knowledge if you already know powershell. Also good if you want to start publishing your tools and work for others to use (often less technical users). Would be 5 starts if course included code snippets to copy / paste.

DesireStateConfiguration derslerini biraz hızlı geçmiş. Özellikle Pull modele hiç değinmemiş. Teorik olarak anlatmış. Diğer konularda tek örnek de olsa konulara ve özelliklere değinmiş. Güzel ve iyi bir kurs

Great learning material. Touches on all the necessary information to create tools with PowerShell. The delivery was clear and concise, easy to follow, and giving examples for each topic and how the formatting and creation of advanced scripts should be and why. Thanks for the effort in putting this together.

Since I expected another "boring, blueprinted" course with a dry facts, I'm gladly surprised that it seems I will learn not only many usefull commands, but the structure and architecture of how to build my future Admin tools. Let's see...

Hi Shawn. A very great course with a lot of content and material. Likewise, your nature and your imparted knowledge enhance this course extremely. I am extremely satisfied to have booked this course. Certainly one of the best courses on this subject with an excellent instructor. Thank you and best wishes.

Excellent course for those who already have some scripting experience with powershell. I was more interested to learn about .net and parallelization. Could you please also cover how to tweak workflows to run Exchange or other product commands? That might help a lot of people.

Amazing course. Covered a lot of things that I wish I had bundled in this nice format 2 years ago when I started building out my own tools. Learned a lot about pieces I haven't had a need for yet, and some great tips on things I thought I already knew. 5/5 money well spent

Fantastic course I have been using Powershell for many years and i guess i just got lazy and thought that i pretty much knew it all :) but this course has really opened my eyes to what i have been missing and what i can leverage in the future. Bravo!
By Polly Sue Webb on 3/28/2021
I would've given this 5 stars if there had been some powershell script resources to allow me to copy and paste so that I could practice the scripts in a virtual environment and practice application of the tools learned; excellent instruction and easy to follow otherwise. I would definitely take more of Shawn's classes!

Each section is well defined, and the instructor has good pacing, able to hear him/understand, and concise enough to not waste time on a bunch of fluff. This is a great course for those that wish to extend their PowerShell skills or review. As someone who has used PowerShell for over a decade I learned a lot of new tricks even in areas where I was already proficient.
