1
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:04,550
And that brings us to the end.

2
00:00:04,550 --> 00:00:08,670
I'm one of those teach‑your‑person‑to‑fish kind of people. Learning how to use

3
00:00:08,670 --> 00:00:11,870
Get‑Command is a great first step in learning PowerShell.

4
00:00:11,870 --> 00:00:14,680
Eventually, you'll learn how to add new commands of PowerShell,

5
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:18,840
and you'll want to be able to discover what those new things are.

6
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,920
For now, don't worry too much about the distinctions

7
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:23,890
between a function and a cmdlet.

8
00:00:23,890 --> 00:00:28,360
They are merely commands that you can run in PowerShell to do something, and at

9
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:33,190
this stage don't be too concerned about PowerShell scripts.

10
00:00:33,190 --> 00:00:34,350
In the meantime,

11
00:00:34,350 --> 00:00:37,110
I hope you'll spend a little time every day poking

12
00:00:37,110 --> 00:00:39,420
around in PowerShell, trying things out,

13
00:00:39,420 --> 00:00:41,980
exploring to see what you can do.

14
00:00:41,980 --> 00:00:45,410
I'm assuming, of course, that you aren't doing this on a production server.

15
00:00:45,410 --> 00:00:49,100
There's really not much trouble you can get into in playing with PowerShell,

16
00:00:49,100 --> 00:00:51,840
especially with any of the Get‑Commands.

17
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,670
Naturally, there is much, much, much,

18
00:00:54,670 --> 00:00:57,580
much more for you to learn about PowerShell.

19
00:00:57,580 --> 00:01:01,390
You've only taken the first step in getting it installed and configured.

20
00:01:01,390 --> 00:01:01,980
Now hopefully,

21
00:01:01,980 --> 00:01:04,820
you'll feel also a little less intimidated about learning

22
00:01:04,820 --> 00:01:08,810
and working and using PowerShell. You still need to learn

23
00:01:08,810 --> 00:01:10,940
about how to use the help system.

24
00:01:10,940 --> 00:01:14,440
You need to learn how to work with objects in the pipeline,

25
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:18,140
important language features, and so much more.

26
00:01:18,140 --> 00:01:20,490
And then, after you get all that covered,

27
00:01:20,490 --> 00:01:22,110
then you can move into PowerShell scripting,

28
00:01:22,110 --> 00:01:24,340
which is a completely separate world.

29
00:01:24,340 --> 00:01:25,200
So as you can see,

30
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,740
you're really just getting started, and it's going to be a great

31
00:01:27,740 --> 00:01:34,000
ride. And I hope I can join you for a lot of it. So until next time, thanks for watching.
