Not sure how much time you have, but if you do not have much I strongly recommend "Learn PowerShell In A Month Of Lunches" [1]
Basically means that if you can spend about one hour every day on the text and exercises in the book you will be able to grasp PowerShell scripting in about a month.

- lwkl 10y agoThis book is book great and after you've read it I can recommend "The Powershell Scripting and Toolmaking Book"[1]. I just started reading it and teaches you how to write good tools with practical examples and business scenarios. My next step will be learning Pester and DSC. Also "Powershell in Action" by Manning is great to lookup things in detail. [1] https://leanpub.com/powershell-scripting-toolmaking https://leanpub.com/powershell-scripting-toolmaking

The second edition is on Amazon but looks like a third edition is coming out in the Spring and you can pick up the EAP. https://www.manning.com/books/windows-powershell-in-action-third-edition https://www.manning.com/books/windows-powershell-in-action-t...

- mindcrash 10y agoWindows VM, or if you are a daredevil you could try and install PowerShell 6 (which will be crossplatform) on macOS from here: https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell (do note its currently in alpha state)
