The assumptions

This book assumes no experience in PowerShell, and so sticks to the basic and intermediate levels. That is to say, we will not create complex PowerShell modules in this book. We will start by installing PowerShell, understanding the object model, working through scripting by understanding PowerShell constructs, creating functions, creating simple script modules, and so on, as system administrators (and not as programmers). We will also learn how to manage Docker and cloud workloads using PowerShell.
