Azure Powershell/CLI - Book recommendations

Question

Hi,

I am a junior admin, sitting AZ-104 soon and I was wondering, what is the best book for Powershell for beginners?

Would like to master it but have 0 experience with it. I am only interested in Azure related stuff, no Win administration etc.. + some hacking with PowerShell as well as a advanced topic for the future.

Any advice is highly appreciated.

Thanks.

Answer 1

First you have to learn the basics of PowerShell and once you know it, you can use Azure PowerShell commands, tweak them and use code for automation or administration

I have heard of Learning PowerShell in a Month of lunches book and also YouTube channel. They should be good enough to get started.

When I was new to PS, I have gone through Channel9 videos given below. Later I practiced running Azure PowerShell commands. https://channel9.msdn.com/Series/GetStartedPowerShell3

The official documentation is a great place to start and you can find resources from Mike F Robbins book, PowerShell 101 available for free:
