Release Notes<br />
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
Windows power users have always envied their friends running UNIX machines for <br />
the ease of automation that they enjoy. The traditional Windows command-line <br />
shell, cmd.exe, has never been up to par with shells like bash or tcsh, <br />
especially when it comes to text processing and process automation.<br />
<br />
Windows PowerShell changes all that. This next-generation shell is also a <br />
full-blown scripting environment with a real programming language that allows <br />
users to access every part of their operating system. Files, registry entries, <br />
and COM and .NET objects are all supported by PowerShell, which makes <br />
manipulating them a breeze.<br />
<br />
Pro Windows PowerShell will show you how to use all this power in your own work. <br />
You’ll discover the object-oriented features of the shell and how they help in <br />
extracting and manipulating data. You’ll then learn how to use those features to <br />
solve real-world problems: manipulating files, working with text, monitoring <br />
systems, and performing operations over the network. The book serves as not only <br />
a tutorial, but also a reference: the “Real World” part is structured so that it <br />
can be read nonlinearly and used as a reference or a cookbook. And you’ll find <br />
freely available tools and extensions that will help you do things even faster.<br />
<br />
Pro Windows PowerShell is your best companion to the capabilities and power that <br />
PowerShell offers you.<br />
What you’ll learn<br />
<br />
* See how to solve real problems with Windows PowerShell using a repository <br />
of working code.<br />
* Get a sense of “the big picture,” with PowerShell integrating with the <br />
outside world. You will discoverexamples and techniques when dealing with other <br />
programs, the operating system, and the network.<br />
* Explore free and open-source tools and extensions that help you get <br />
results with Windows PowerShell fast. (No other book has this feature!) <br />
<br />
Who is this book for?<br />
<br />
Pro Windows PowerShell is targeted at professionals who handle a lot of <br />
repetitive tasks. The goal is to show how PowerShell can help script most of <br />
those tasks and reduce their burden. The book contains examples on automating <br />
typical system administration tasks: configuration, monitoring, network queries, <br />
text manipulation, and file operations. The ideas presented will be beneficial <br />
to power users needing a better shell and an automation environment, system and <br />
network administrators looking to streamline their daily activities, and <br />
software developers wishing to optimize their build and deploy process.<br />
