We’re going to close out the PowerShell in production poll. Thanks to all who responded. The margin narrowed a bit but still over 70% of you, or at least those who frequent the SAPIEN blog, are running PowerShell in a production environment. For organizations who aren’t I understand the reasons and believe that PowerShell v2 will bring more of you on board. Of course I hope you won’t wait, there’s no reason not to at least learning PowerShell. Sure, PowerShell v2.0 will offer lots of new bells and whistles, but you won’t have wasted any time learning PowerShell v1.0.
There are many excellent resources for learning PowerShell. From picking some tidbits up on your own to intense military grade training. Book-wise, Windows PowerShell v1.0: TFM 2nd Ed. will show you everything you need to know to get the most out of PowerShell v1.0 today. Or, if you know you won’t be getting to PowerShell until version 2.0, but want to start preparing, you’ll want to grab a copy of Windows PowerShell: TFM 3rd Ed. If you run any Windows platforms, you’ll eventually face a PowerShell prompt, so why wait?
Again, thanks to all who voted. Look for a new poll coming soon!
