This one day class is designed to teach Windows PowerShell in an accelerated fashion. If you are new to PowerShell or looking for a refresher, this may be the course for you. The class will be a fast-paced introduction to PowerShell with an emphasis on managing from the command prompt. Expect minimal PowerPoint presentations, maximum demonstrations and a few hands-on exercises. By the end of the day you should be able to run commands in the PowerShell console and know how to get the most out of it.

The class will be taught in English.

## Requirements

Some previous experience with Windows PowerShell is suggested but not a hard requirement. This class assumes very little exposure to Windows PowerShell. It is of course impossible to teach everything about PowerShell in a day but the emphasis is on using the console and learning how PowerShell works so that you can continue the learning process on your own. Bring a Windows 10 laptop to follow along.
