Overview

Module 1: This module introduces PowerShell, a cross-platform command-line shell and scripting language built for task automation and configuration management.

After completing this module, you'll be able to:

Understand what PowerShell is and what you can use it for.
Use commands to automate tasks.

Module 2: PowerShell comes with a built-in help system. Use help to read more about a command, what the command does, and how to call it. Also, if you inspect what a command returns, you can use that information to customize the output, determine what commands are logically grouped, and determine how to use the commands together.

When you finish this module, you'll be able to:

Inspect commands to understand how to call them.
Understand what a command returns and customize what it returns.

Module 3: In this module, you'll learn how to connect commands into a pipeline.

After you complete this module, you'll be able to:

Explore cmdlets further and construct a sequence of them in a pipeline.
Apply sound principles to your commands by using filtering and formatting.

Module 4: In this module, you begin learning the basics of programming by writing and running code in PowerShell.

After you've completed this module, you'll be able to:

Manage PowerShell inputs and outputs.
Diagnose errors when you type code incorrectly.
Identify PowerShell elements such as cmdlets, parameters, inputs, and outputs.

Module 5: Learn how to script by using PowerShell.

Understand how to write and run scripts.
Use variables and parameters to make your scripts flexible.
Apply flow-control logic to make intelligent decisions.
Add robustness to your scripts by adding error management.

Module 6: Learn how to install Azure PowerShell on Linux, macOS, or Windows and then connect to Azure and manage your resources.

In this module, you will:

Decide if Azure PowerShell is the right tool for your Azure administration tasks
Install Azure PowerShell on Linux, macOS, and/or Windows
