5.0 out of 5 starsGreat place to start... or come back
By @chbooth on April 15, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Ed Wilson is awesome anyway so any chance to read his work outside of his blog and / or tweets is great. I am a pretty active PS guy and wanted to just have the book to skim for some of my co-workers and people we give "Skilling up" sessions to. The great thing about this book is in each of the chapters I got a little good nugget of info to take with me. I always appreciate a tech book that can give you something no matter what your skill level.

5.0 out of 5 starsA Must-Have
By Mohammed Al Sahaf on July 13, 2013
Format: Paperback
The book covers a very interesting toolbox (of course it's more than one tool!) that is growing and gaining momentum in the IT field. The book covers all the basic needed tools to get started using PowerShell. From simply managing a number of folder to working with Active Directory and managing exchange servers. To sum up the book in three words: The PowerShell Reference. I found the "After completing this chapter, you will be able to" and "Chapter X quick references" sections of the book a smart touch. It helps to know what should the reader expect and what the reader should have learned through the chapter. The exercises are broken up into several steps, each of which explain what that piece of script does and why it is there. The scripts are also explained thoroughly, something every coder appreciate. At the end of the book, you will face 7 appendices to guide the lost. Would I recommend this book? Absolutely! I have already talked to a group of friends and classmates before I even reached the end of the book. It needs to be on the shelf of every IT person.

4.0 out of 5 starsGood but complicated
By Kodi Kirchofner on June 16, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This book ramps up quickly. This isn't a beginners book as it's touted to be. In almost no time Ed Jones is utilizing aliases which can be confusing to those who aren't familiar with them. I've always liked Ed Jones' style of writing and read him frequently on Hey Scripting Guy but this is quite different. It is good however for a review guide if you just can't quite get that one part of your script to work.

3.0 out of 5 starsI respect the author, but the Kindle version is riddled with typos...
By aj on May 28, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I've heard this author speak on various podcasts, and he is very knowledgeable. However, the Kindle book is riddled with typos on every chapter. Letters on the chapter titles are missing.

If you have read Don Jones' Learn PowerShell in a Month of Lunches, this is a great book to help solidify your knowledge. However, if you are going to get the Kindle version, I would recommend buying it directly from the publisher itself.

4.0 out of 5 starsGreat Powershell book by a powershell expert
By L. Bounds on July 2, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This was a really good book for me to add to my other Powershell books I already have. As someone still fairly new to powershell the book was exactly what I was looking for. If you are new to powershell this book will help you learn it and build a good foundation for using the shell. I thought the book was well written and had good examples and exercises at the end of each chapter. There's also some scripts you can download that go along with this book. I will be keeping this book on my shelf for reference I'm sure for a long time.

2.0 out of 5 starsThe Kindle version is a dissappointment
By R. Andari on December 18, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I have the Kindle version of the book and I am kind disappointed in the quality. The book has many typos and many examples with incorrect syntax . The only good thing about it is it will force you find the right answer somewhere else. For a beginner, this book can be frustrating, but if you have some knowledge in Power shell, you should be able to navigate around the mistakes. In any case, whether you are beginner or have a little experience in Power Shell, this book is not the best choice.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat Reference
By Landon D. on June 29, 2013

We recently moved our Domain Server to a Windows Server 2012 rack unite and this has come in handy for some administration. I still haven't got everything I want out of PowerShell yet but I don't hold the book responsible.
