Hi everyone, my name is Matt Allford,

2
00:00:07,620 --> 00:00:12,040
and welcome to my course, Formatting Data with PowerShell.

3
00:00:12,040 --> 00:00:13,230
In this course,

4
00:00:13,230 --> 00:00:18,380
we are going to explore how PowerShell makes decisions on how to format data.

5
00:00:18,380 --> 00:00:22,940
For example, should PowerShell present a list?

6
00:00:22,940 --> 00:00:27,930
Or maybe it should perhaps present a table? You'll also learn

7
00:00:27,930 --> 00:00:31,180
how to override the default formatting system to get the

8
00:00:31,180 --> 00:00:34,240
format you want when you need it.

9
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:38,400
PowerShell has a set of commands used to get the formatted data out of

10
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:42,800
the PowerShell system. That could be out to the screen so you can see

11
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,260
it, out to a file, or even out to a printer,

12
00:00:46,260 --> 00:00:50,340
and we're going to spend some time exploring those commands.

13
00:00:50,340 --> 00:00:53,470
Some of the major topics that we will cover include

14
00:00:53,470 --> 00:00:56,860
understanding the formatting system, formatting in

15
00:00:56,860 --> 00:01:01,040
PowerShell, and PowerShell's out commands.

16
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:02,480
By the end of this course,

17
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,530
you'll be armed with everything you need to be successful with formatting

18
00:01:06,530 --> 00:01:11,260
and outputting data with PowerShell. Before beginning the course., you

19
00:01:11,260 --> 00:01:14,010
should be familiar with the PowerShell language,

20
00:01:14,010 --> 00:01:17,500
understand how to run and pipe commands, and also be

21
00:01:17,500 --> 00:01:20,740
comfortable with using PowerShell parameters.

22
00:01:20,740 --> 00:01:24,450
This course is a part of Pluralsight's PowerShell Fundamentals learning

23
00:01:24,450 --> 00:01:27,820
path, so if you need to brush up on some of those concepts,

24
00:01:27,820 --> 00:01:31,420
we've got you covered here in the Pluralsight library.

25
00:01:31,420 --> 00:01:44,000
I hope you'll join me on this journey to learn PowerShell with the Formatting Data with PowerShell course, at Pluralsight.
