Customer comments on this selection. Weak sample scripts I purchased this book based on two previous reviews and so far I'm somewhat disappointed. For example, I think the author should include how to add comments to a script (e.g. #) early on in the book because adding comments is proper coding practice. Also, none of the author's sample scripts include comments either. Additionally, I find the sample scripts to be very simplistic short examples and I defiantly expected to see far more complex sample scripts that demonstrates the more advanced scripting capabilities of the PowerShell scripting language. Based on this, I'm surprised that this book is in the professional series because what is presented in the book is at an introductory level. If your new to Powershell this if for your Library This is a really good book. I have purchased a bunch of other books on Powershell but most of them were written with developers in mind and not system administrators. Well good news, this book is written specifically for Windows System Admins. It walks you through how the scripting language works (.NET), and it provides very clear examples of how to use and create power shell scripts. With this book in hand and the free information that is available on the Microsoft Technet site, you are on you way to becoming a proficient Power Shell Scripter! Well done Mr. Andrew Watt. Get up to speed quickly This book is extremely well written and easy to understand coming from a non or limited programming background. If you are completely new to programming, I'd suggest reading Microsoft Windows PowerShell Programming for the Absolute Beginner by Jerry Lee Ford Jr. first and then read this book. Also, so far the code has been exceptionally accurate, which makes the experience that much better.
