And that brings us to the end.
I'm one of those teach‑your‑person‑to‑fish kind of people. Learning how to use
Get‑Command is a great first step in learning PowerShell.
Eventually, you'll learn how to add new commands of PowerShell,
and you'll want to be able to discover what those new things are.
For now, don't worry too much about the distinctions
between a function and a cmdlet.
They are merely commands that you can run in PowerShell to do something, and at
this stage don't be too concerned about PowerShell scripts.
In the meantime,
I hope you'll spend a little time every day poking
around in PowerShell, trying things out,
exploring to see what you can do.
I'm assuming, of course, that you aren't doing this on a production server.
There's really not much trouble you can get into in playing with PowerShell,
especially with any of the Get‑Commands.
Naturally, there is much, much, much,
much more for you to learn about PowerShell.
You've only taken the first step in getting it installed and configured.
Now hopefully,
you'll feel also a little less intimidated about learning
and working and using PowerShell. You still need to learn
about how to use the help system.
You need to learn how to work with objects in the pipeline,
important language features, and so much more.
And then, after you get all that covered,
then you can move into PowerShell scripting,
which is a completely separate world.
So as you can see,
you're really just getting started, and it's going to be a great
ride. And I hope I can join you for a lot of it. So until next time, thanks for watching.
