To many of you it might feel like PowerShell has been out for forever and that everyone is using it already? You, my friend, are likely on the leading edge then… PowerShell is awesome and solves so many problems that it’s hard to imagine a world before it, but inertia is a funny thing. I’d bet that unless you working in a cutting edge workplace that you’d be surprised at the PowerShell usage, or lack there of, in your day to day real IT world.

That’s what drew be to this eBook. At 41 pages it’s very approachable, it’s cheap enough (free ;), broken into easily digestible chunks and is targeted directly at those on the IT side of the house….
