I can't remember the last time that I bought a paper tech book (I guess I could search my order history, but I'm here now).I've been using PowerShell since it was first released in, what, 2006? I've been developing with .NET since its beta in 1999 (jeez!) and PowerShell brought the capabilities that I was enjoying to a rich and powerful command line. I've developed a fair few PowerShell Cmdlets, back in the day. Of course, I was stuck on Windows back then. My background is originally in mainframes, but I spent many, many years developing on and for Windows (and I liked it). But once .NET went cross-platform and PowerShell went with it, I could have the power of PowerShell on Linux and MacOS, too. It never occured to me to try it on Raspberry Pi until now, though...I say I've been using PowerShell, but I never really mastered it. Just enough to get the job done, really. This book is encouraging me to go deeper. It starts off with the basics, of course, but soon gets into interesting territory that I've never really thought about. The author's style is a good balance of relaxed and chatty with a good amount of detail. It makes for easy reading, which I find encourages me to read on. That's where holding a physical book makes a difference; I can carry it around the house (it's a more productive way to spend time in 'the smallest room' than scrolling on the phone), I can turn over the corners and make pencil notes (yes, I really do dog ear my books) while I work through it at a leisurely pace. I like to learn. I'm learning something new all the time and for now, it's PowerShell 7. I might even be encouraged to buy another book after this.
