I had been hearing more and more about Powershell as the years passed, but it just seemed so *different* from what I knew and was good at, which made me nervous to try. Early attempts just led to frustration, so I gave up. An experienced Powershell guy at work offered to teach us over a couple of lunch hours per week and made this book the textbook for 'class'. I've read a number of "Learn X in Y lessons" books and they all seem to start out fine and quickly get into matters I don't have interest in, or get far too deep too quickly to really gain understanding. Within the first few chapters of this book, I was "learning how to learn" Powershell. By fully explaining and exploring the robust help system from the beginning, I was quickly able to solve command line problems I was having without needing to refer back to the book. Gaining this early understanding helped make the more complex challenges easier to break down and resolve. The lab examples are also real-world relevant and resemble problems I need to solve on a regular basis. I strongly recommend following along in a Powershell window as you're reading. Review: The book to buy if you're serious about learning Powershell!!!! - I've read quite a few books as a system's admin. This book by far, is probably one one of the most well-written books I've read when learning a new subject in Information Technology. Jones and Hicks do a great job in teaching the reader scripting in Powershell. The beginning chapters lay the foundation on understanding the help syntax in Powershell, which is essential before moving forward to advanced topics and creating your own scripts. If you are serious about learning scripting Powershell, buy Jones and Hicks' books on Powershell. It's money well-spent!!! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,074,969 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #33 in Software Utilities #54 in Windows Administration (Books) #102 in Microsoft C & C++ Windows Programming | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (251) | | Dimensions | 7.25 x 1 x 9.25 inches | | Edition | 2nd | | ISBN-10 | 1617291080 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1617291081 | | Item Weight | 1 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 343 pages | | Publication date | January 1, 2012 | | Publisher | Manning Pubns Co | ## Images ![Learn Windows PowerShell in a Month of Lunches - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81VvdnPPXXL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great step-by-step instruction for those nervous about starting with Powershell! *by D***G on September 8, 2015* I'm a Windows systems engineer who used NT/Command Shell for more than a decade to do administrative tasks.

With Too Much Windows 8 *by W***H on March 24, 2014* Note to author: I bought the book to learn about PowerShell. I'll buy a different book when I'm ready to learn about Windows 8. The modules chapter completely biffed the PowerShell Community opportunities and their usefulness in Windows 7. I had been excited to reach the modules chapter to learn how to find and install such modules. Also, if PowerShell is to reach its potential to manage the whole enterprise, shouldn't we start with features that are compatible throughout the enterprise? Then exceptions for Windows 8 could be introduced after the general solution is understood. My main criticism is that too many examples require Windows 8 or Server 2012. It would be fine if a bit of content were given to a newer OS within a chapter. Unfortunately, entire chapters seem to focus on an OS. The lessons and examples would have been useful if parts of those chapters allowed experimentation with Windows 7 or Server 2008. The author's concept of "Try It" is a good one and could reinforce what you read. Unfortunately, you can't "try" those lessons that are out of sync with your version of the OS. Nevertheless, I like this book because it goes beyond teaching "yet another shell". It walks you through the right way to think about PowerShell so that it becomes a powerful tool for quick solutions and long-term solutions. Once you learn the help system, the connections to Framework, and object-orientation of PowerShell, it becomes a tool that just keeps getting more powerful. ## Frequently Bought Together - Learn Windows PowerShell in a Month of Lunches - Learn PowerShell Scripting in a Month of Lunches --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/1257850-learn-windows-powershell-in-a-month-of-lunches](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/1257850-learn-windows-powershell-in-a-month-of-lunches) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
