PowerShell Training: Scripting the Base of Your IT Knowledge
Windows PowerShell is no longer considered an elective class for IT professionals. Now, every Microsoft class related to Job Task Analysis (JTA) training assumes you already have the basic comprehension of PowerShell scripting. If you haven’t taken the Automating Administration with Windows PowerShell (MS-10961) class at this point in your IT career, now is the time to enroll.
Job Task Analysis (JTA)
Microsoft has restructured its training to “role-based” learning to better prepare IT professionals for their careers. By following this JTA structure, it ensures IT professionals are learning exactly what they need in order to continue to be successful in their roles. Many of the new role-based certification paths expect IT professionals to already be familiar with PowerShell in order to continue their learning path and gain their Microsoft certification.
What is Windows PowerShell?
Microsoft PowerShell is a task-based command-line shell and scripting language. Previously, it has been associated strictly with system administrators, but has now bled over into other Microsoft job roles, including even the developer community.
PowerShell is built on the .NET Framework, and empowers IT professionals with the ability to control and automate Windows operating system functions and applications that run on Windows.
