00:00:01,340 --> 00:00:06,000
I don't expect you to have any problems finding your way around PowerShell.

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,230
What I would suggest you do is pick your PowerShell experience

3
00:00:09,230 --> 00:00:12,280
that you want to use and really get to know it.

4
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:15,800
The traditional console is always available, and really the path of least

5
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:19,670
resistance, although I think if you give Windows Terminal a try,

6
00:00:19,670 --> 00:00:20,610
you'll like it,

7
00:00:20,610 --> 00:00:22,910
especially if you find yourself needing multiple

8
00:00:22,910 --> 00:00:25,940
tabs for different types of shells.

9
00:00:25,940 --> 00:00:28,150
You'll find this especially helpful if you start using

10
00:00:28,150 --> 00:00:31,580
the Azure Shell or Linux on Windows.

11
00:00:31,580 --> 00:00:34,350
Now, there are other options as well that I haven't shown you,

12
00:00:34,350 --> 00:00:38,430
such as ConEmu, which I know is popular in the PowerShell community.

13
00:00:38,430 --> 00:00:42,490
You'll find other recommendations asking people on Twitter or in

14
00:00:42,490 --> 00:00:47,320
PowerShell forums. Whatever you choose, customize it to make it

15
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,380
comfortable and something that you will want to use.

16
00:00:50,380 --> 00:00:54,340
I'd also suggest documenting your changes, or in the case of Windows Terminal,

17
00:00:54,340 --> 00:00:57,240
creating a backup copy of your settings file.

18
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,380
This way when you get a new desktop or something goes wrong,

19
00:01:00,380 --> 00:01:03,670
you'll know how to set or configure the PowerShell

20
00:01:03,670 --> 00:01:05,840
console the way that you need it to be.

21
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:11,440
And finally, I can't stress this enough, you have to use PowerShell every day.

22
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:15,000
You will find that learning PowerShell is like learning a foreign language.

23
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:20,740
The best way to gain fluency is to immerse yourself in it every single day.

24
00:01:20,740 --> 00:01:23,450
So that is it for this module.

25
00:01:23,450 --> 00:01:31,000
Next up, I'll show you how to discover what you can do in PowerShell. So refill your beverage, and I'll be waiting right here.
