I’m proud to announce I have not one but two, yes TWO new PowerShell courses available on Pluralsight, targeted for developers. These two courses are designed to work in harmony, to show developers how they can leverage PowerShell to automate and assist in their daily work.

The first is “PowerShell 7 Quick Start for Developers on Linux, macOS, and Windows”. It leverages your knowledge as a developer to bring you up to speed on the PowerShell language. It doesn’t waste time explaining concepts you already know, like variables and loops. It simply shows you how to do things in PowerShell.

The second course is “Everyday PowerShell for Developers on Linux, macOS, and Windows”. It begins showing how to combine PowerShell with Docker to create a PHP container and test a simple website. It then proceeds to create an Azure SQL database and load data in it.

In the second you are taught how to code your own classes and modules by creating a simple module that leverages a USPS website API to lookup a zip code and return the city and state it belongs to.

In the final part of the course you are shown how to use the new DataFabricator module to generate realistic looking, but fake data for use in testing your applications.

While originally developed with PowerShell 7.0.3, all code in the course was tested and videoed using PowerShell 7.1.0.

Additionally, the code was tested on a variety of platforms, including Ubuntu 20.04, 20.10, Windows 10, H1 and H2, macOS Catalina and even macOS Big Sur.
