PowerShell for Developers

 

Grab the Ebook, it’s 30% off. I have a few more chapters to go, plus polish.

With this digital Early Release edition of PowerShell for Developers, you get the entire book bundle in its earliest form – the raw and unedited content – so you can take advantage of this content long before the book’s official release. You’ll also receive updates when significant changes are made, as well as the final ebook version.

Doug:

Are there any links to the TOC or book samples? Didn’t see them on O’Reilly’s page.

Thanks

Thanks for the question Mark.

Unfortunately the ToC is not generated till it goes production because the book is still being worked on.

I was really looking for a book like this.
Do you know when are you going to release the next tranche of chapters ?

Thanks

Thanks for the comment Sunny.

Should be soon, we are getting close to the final edits. I’ll update my blog as I get more details from the publisher.

Great read, looking forward to the complete book.
Not only for developers imho, if you’re serious about PowerShell, this is a must read.

Thanks Luc for the kind review.

Looking forward to getting the book through the production phase.

Doug.
Chapter 9, is probably the coolest chapter I have read in any powershell book.

I have a question.
I reviewed the JSON examples in the book. Most examples use powershell to do a Convert To / From-Json and consume some JSON from some web-based rest API’s (Twitter / RSS / XML etc.)

Is there a way, I can do it the other way.
Meaning, can I do this:

get-process | Select Name, ID, VM, WS | Select -First 10 | ConvertTo-JSON

and have that exported to a javascript (.JS) file.

I tried playing with this using the Azure/Node SDK but no dice. That is probably the only interface where you can run both powershell and javascript.

Thanks for getting the book and the kind words Sunny.

If I understand what you are asking, I believe this should work.

get-process | 
  Select Name, ID, VM, WS -First 10 | 
  ConvertTo-JSON | 
  Set-Content .\test.js
