I'm here after a job interview for an application developer who recommended I brush up on my powershell skills. I am not disappointed...intimidated, but not disappointed lol. Thank you for your work on these videos, extremely helpful and appreciated!

Feels like I'm just reiterating the rest of the comments, but seriously a HUGELY helpful series this! Best I have found on youtube, especially if your a beginner in shell scripting.

Thank you!

"Powershell doesn't do a lot of handholding" - well, sort of. Some commands that do have a very high impact will prompt you for confirmation before you, let's say, format a whole volume. And that safety net can be adjusted to ask you for confirmation about more cmdlets. alternatively the confirmation prompt can also be invoked by passing the -confirm parameter (as well as using -whatif to see what something would do without actually doing it)
