If you are curious about PowerShell, or just starting to learn the new scripting language from Microsoft, you will want to check out the Practical PowerShell Video Series from Idera.

Here’s an excerpt about this video series.

This series, presented by PowerShell author and expert Don Jones, provides IT professionals with the knowledge and skills required to automate key administrative tasks on a variety of Windows platforms using PowerShell.

The series includes:

Part 1: Getting to Know PowerShell
Part 2: PowerShell for Active Directory
Part 3: PowerShell for Exchange Server 2007
Part 4: PowerShell for SQL Server 2008
Part 5: PowerShell for Windows Servers and Clients

All examples in this video series are created and edited using Idera’s PowerShell Plus Professional Edition

I use PowerShell Plus a lot when scripting PS, and I have to say it makes my life a lot easier. I will also be using PSP in my presentation at DevTeach in Vancouver on June 9, 2009 called “PowerShell’d: How to PowerShell Your Way with SQL Server” .
