Object-oriented, based on the .NET Framework, PowerShell (M10961) replaces (in a way) the command line. It allows you to execute scripts in batch. It is important to master the subtleties of PowerShell because it is becoming more and more important in the Windows environment, with Microsoft making it its main method of automating tasks and applications.
The Windows PowerShell course will enable you to use this task-based scripting and command line language designed specifically for system administration. You will learn the basics, followed by installation and configuration. In this course we also cover commands, objects and classes, as well as scripts and file, alias and environment providers. You will learn how to customize your user interface.
PowerShell is Microsoft's complete scripting language, powerful, versatile and easy to use, which will allow you to master variables, loops, etc.
