    Thank you for providing an easy-to-understand tutorial with great examples. Like other commentors here I've looked at other sources to learn basic PS and this was by far the easiest to understand.

    I'm not a admin. I don't even work in IT. I just wanted to learn Powershell. I watched 30 mins each of 2 other video tutorials that claimed to be tutorials but were basically guys showing off how good they were in Powershell. I spent an hour and 3 commands were shown and not really explained. But this video here....15 mins in and I have learned enough to continue learning on my own if I had to and there is still like 15 more mins of video. This video paints a very clear picture. And I am having fun now rather than looking at "PS C:\> " and always having to copy paste something there I got from the internet. No more. I will learn this. This made it easy. Somebody get him a fruit basket...NOW!!...No?? I'm sorry bro....I couldn't get you a fruit basket. You totally deserve one though. In a nice basket. The basket matters. I liked the video though. Theres that at least. Thanks for posting this. Schooling mofo's since 2016

    My company pays for CBT nuggets, I spent 2 hours on their intro to powershell course the other day, you taught me more in 20 minutes than I learned in those 2 hours...great job!
  • @GuenterErde1
    I dont normally leave comments, but this is a top tier intro. Thanks!
  • @steveeyler
    If only I had found this before I wasted money on a udemy course. Learned more in the first ten minutes than I did with paid content. Well done!
  • @reesenva
    Man, this is a GREAT introductory video. I watched it a couple of times to really let it sink in. THANKS!!!
  • @sarkartapask

    Great video. I've been running scared of PowerShell for a while now but you not only make it easy, you make it very interesting. Can't wait to finish the whole series
  • @dhanessur
    First time trying to learn Powershell and your video was the perfect beginners guide. You've really explained things in the simplest form that's non intimidating to a beginner that finds Powershell overwhelming. Thank you for posting.
  • Great video Shane! It's a very information-rich (read "useful") video. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series. Thanks!
  • @Man-dk1vg
    Most of the powershell videos on YouTube right now are just people explaining for an hour how great powershell is. This video, however, actually taught me something
  • @iKyuubi1995
    5 years old and probably heavily outdated this series has still helped me get on the right direction of what im trying to do. Even if its several forks in the road ahead. It helps me start
  • @lcruz906
    That was very informative, look forward to Part 2 once I play with this for a day or so. Thank you.....
  • Great tutorial Shane! I will definitely watch video 2 tomorrow :) I never took the time to learn PowerShell and mainly focused on learning more things about Networking and Cisco, but I'm now seeing others at work do bunch of useful things on powershell. It's insane how much time we have been saving at work since some of my colleagues have been making scripts on powershell. Powershell is a very powerful tool.
  • @mpazs

    Thanks Shane. I usually gloss over when learning this material but you kept it concise and interesting. Looking forward to the rest of the video series.
