Code & Demos
demos/: One runnable.ps1per slide topic, organized per module. The slides reference each demo with a footer pill such as`demo03 · select-object`.solutions/: Runnable.ps1reference solutions, one file per exercise, organized per module. Use these to check your work or if you need a hint.extra/: A large collection of real-world PowerShell scripts (from the Windows PowerShell Cookbook) for further exploration.
Learning Materials
articles/: Informative articles on PowerShell topics.books/: Recommended reference books (PDF) for deeper study.
Getting Started
Prerequisites
- Windows 10/11 with administrator rights (several modules enable or configure Windows features).
- PowerShell 7+:
winget install Microsoft.PowerShell, or download from https://learn.microsoft.com/powershell/scripting/install/installing-powershell. - Editor: We recommend Visual Studio Code with the PowerShell extension.
Appendix modules (optional)
The IIS, Active Directory, and SQL appendices are only needed when the class covers them:
- SQL and Databases: install a local SQL Server, either
winget install Microsoft.SQLServer.2022.Express(creates a.\SQLEXPRESSinstance), or SQL Server 2022 Express with the LocalDB option (lightweight(localdb)\MSSQLLocalDB). The helperdemos/12-sql-databases/sql-lab-setup.ps1auto-detects whichever is present. TheInvoke-Sqlcmddemos also need the SqlServer module:Install-Module SqlServer -Scope CurrentUser. - Active Directory needs the RSAT AD tools and a domain to query (see
lab/README.md).
The language modules also run on Linux/macOS, but the service, CIM, remoting, IIS, Active Directory, and SQL content requires Windows.
Verify your setup by running $PSVersionTable in a pwsh terminal — you should see
version 7.x.
