Book Reviews of Microsoft Windows PowerShell Programming for the Absolute Beginner
Book Review: Try something else
Summary: 1 Stars
I was disappointed with this book. I personally dislike technical books that bring the writers family/children into it -- send those things into Family Circle. The programming style was poor -- bad for later maintenance and a bad thing to teach beginners. Possibly ok for seasoned programmers, but there are other ways to use one's time. I found too many errors for my taste. Of the first 150 pages, I think it could have been reduced to about 20, at most. In short, I will have to read another book to accomplish what this one was supposed to do.
Summary of Microsoft Windows PowerShell Programming for the Absolute Beginner
Microsoft has finally answered the prayers of system administrators and developers everywhere through the introduction of Windows PowerShell, a new scripting technology that enables the automation of system management tasks and the creation of system management tools. PowerShell runs on Windows XP, 2003, and Vista. Exchange Server 2007 and System Center Operations Manager 2007 will be built on Windows PowerShell. Unlike traditional Windows shell scripting, PowerShell scripting is object based and is designed to work with the .NET framework. Microsoft Windows PowerShell Programming for the Absolute Beginner teaches readers how to program using Microsoft's new PowerShell scripting language through the creation of computer games. No prior knowledge of programming in any language is required. Topics covered include the Windows PowerShell Command Line, object based scripting with .NET, writing PowerShell Scripts, working with variables, arrays and hashes, implementing conditional logic, using loops to process data, organizing scripts using functions, basic system administration, and much more.General Books
