00:00:05,310 --> 00:00:06,200
Hi everyone.

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:11,270
My name is Jeff Hicks, and welcome to my course, Getting Help with PowerShell.

3
00:00:11,270 --> 00:00:15,850
I'm a veteran IT pro and long‑time PowerShell author, teacher, and mentor.

4
00:00:15,850 --> 00:00:19,570
I'm excited to tell you all about my latest work for Pluralsight.

5
00:00:19,570 --> 00:00:24,000
This course is the second step in the PowerShell 7 Fundamentals track.

6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,230
Once you get PowerShell installed, you need to know how to use it.

7
00:00:28,230 --> 00:00:30,790
Of course, I'd love for you to buy a few PowerShell books,

8
00:00:30,790 --> 00:00:34,600
but there is plenty of useful information already at your fingertips.

9
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,240
That's where the help system comes in.

10
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:37,890
In this course,

11
00:00:37,890 --> 00:00:40,580
you'll learn how PowerShell's help system is structured

12
00:00:40,580 --> 00:00:42,470
and how to get the most out of it.

13
00:00:42,470 --> 00:00:45,690
I'll show you how to update PowerShell help so you always have

14
00:00:45,690 --> 00:00:48,140
the latest information at your fingertips.

15
00:00:48,140 --> 00:00:49,430
Just as important,

16
00:00:49,430 --> 00:00:52,500
I'll show you how to find help and how to interpret what

17
00:00:52,500 --> 00:00:57,100
at first may feel like some arcane, magical spells.

18
00:00:57,100 --> 00:01:02,030
By the end of the course, you should be able to update help files from Microsoft,

19
00:01:02,030 --> 00:01:06,450
be able to find help for a command, task or PowerShell concept, be

20
00:01:06,450 --> 00:01:10,990
able to interpret the help content and apply it to your work, and

21
00:01:10,990 --> 00:01:15,300
know how to get PowerShell help from online resources. When you're

22
00:01:15,300 --> 00:01:16,520
finished with the course,

23
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:20,240
you will be ready to get even more out of PowerShell and better understand

24
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,840
why the commands you're typing work the way that they do.

25
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:25,510
I had a lot of fun creating this course,

26
00:01:25,510 --> 00:01:36,000
and I hope you find it beneficial in your PowerShell training as you learn about Getting Help from PowerShell.
