PowerShell Cookbook: Your Complete Guide to Scripting the Ubiquitous Object-Based Shell

This book is extremely comprehensive, and serves as a useful reference for those already knowledgeable with PowerShell.While a beginner could gain some value from it, I would recommend other books if you are looking to learn, for example “PowerShell In A Month Of Lunches”

A book that every IT professional should have.

The Lee Holmes Powershell Cookbook has been a modern IT classic for a very long time. I still have a first edition.The content is beyond reproach, but I have to draw attention to the price. £70? Sign of the times I guess. Would have loved to pick up a copy of the latest edition, but the cost is prohibitive.

Get it, work it, learn it.

Good contents

Must have for every Sysadmin!!!

It's a cookbook, as it claims to be. Not a food science text, not a nutrition guide, not a culinary travelogue, but a collection of recipes. This book is that guy you go to for help and he just says, "Hey, I've already done that, use my script, you don't need to understand what it's doing." If one of the book's (many) code blocks happens to be exactly the answer you're looking for, and you don't much care how or why it works, then it's fine. If you're looking for a book that really gets you self-reliance in the language and underlying concepts, really makes the language "yours", like the Camel book for Perl, this is not the place to start. Andy Oakley's "Monad" is a far better choice despite its age.
