Just finished reading Lee Holme's Windows PowerShell Cookbook. ISBN 0596528493

Every good book.  The appendicies alone are worth having.  The main part will accelerate the learning of PowerShell and even the most expert will find something useful.

I'll be posting a full review on the user group web site & will supply a link when complete

 

This book is suitable for beginner ? without any scripting experience.

i am think to buy one of the book to start learn about the Powershell .

It absolutely suitable... I would even say recommended.

Lee does a great job of approaching Powershell from a task base point of view. This lends it self to a easy, strait forward guide to learning Powershell. The other benefit is the vast resources that you gain afterwards.

I will posting a review soon as well.

Just to echo Brandon's point I would say that this book is probably the most useful in terms of the sample scripts and examples it contains.  The appendicies are stuffed full of extremely useful information

If you are wanting to learn PowerShell - this book gives you the "how to use it" examples that makes sense of the more theoretical coverage in the other books

 

thanks of the sharing, i will go to bookshop get one soon.

Windows PowerShell CookBook i am coming!!! hi hi

I have a question about this book. Pg. 42 (1.14 Learn Aliases for Common Commands). The first step says Add the program "Get-AliasSuggestion" to your tools directory or another directory. My question is: Where can I find the tools directory. I thought it was in the "ISE" but I could be wrong. I'm a noob.

The relevant idea is that after altering your prompt function by step 2 on page 43, it needs to access this script.
