Free Powershell EBooks

• Frank Koch, Two books, An introduction for people with no real background knowledge and Administrative tasks. Available in German and English (only read the English version – even though I do read German). Worth a read – especially if you are new or still trying to get it. The latter covers a lot of the free add-ons you can get. The German shines through in some places in the English version, but I do not think that is too big a problem.

• Keith Hill, Effective Windows PowerShell, 50 pages. You should read this if you have some knowledge of PowerShell.
