| This portable reference to Windows PowerShell summarizes
both the command shell and scripting language, and provides
a concise reference to the major tasks that make PowerShell
so successful. It's an ideal on-the-job tool for Windows
administrators who don't have time to plow through huge
books or search online.
Written by Microsoft PowerShell team member Lee Holmes, and
excerpted from his Windows PowerShell Cookbook, Windows
PowerShell Pocket Reference offers up-to-date coverage of
PowerShell's 1.0 release. You'll find information on .NET
classes and legacy management tools that you need to manage
your system, along with chapters on how to write scripts,
manage errors, format output, and much more.
Beginning with a whirlwind tour of Windows PowerShell, this
convenient guide covers:
PowerShell language and environment
Regular expression reference
PowerShell automatic variables
Standard PowerShell verbs
Selected .NET classes and their uses
WMI reference
Selected COM objects and their uses
.NET string formatting
.NET datetime formatting
An authoritative source of information about PowerShell
since its earliest betas, Lee Holmes' vast experience lets
him incorporate both the "how" and the "why" into the book's
discussions. His relationship with the PowerShell and
administration community -- through newsgroups, mailing
lists, and his informative blog Lee Holmes -- gives him
insight into problems faced by administrators and PowerShell
users alike.
If you're ready to learn this powerful tool without having
to break stride in your routine, this is the book you want.
