PSKoans: A simple, fun, and interactive way to learn the PowerShell language
I&#x27;ll share a bit of personal experience for those who hate PowerShell to maybe make them look at it from a new point of view.<p>As a devoted Unix fanatic, I used to hate PowerShell, because I initially came in with the expectation that it&#x27;s going to be “just another POSIX-like shell”.  After all, it&#x27;s right in the name!  And it uses dollar signs!  So every little thing that differed from my unixey expectations made me angry.  (Them using awful aliases like wget and curl didn&#x27;t help.  Seriously, what were they thinking?)<p>But once I&#x27;ve realized that PowerShell is much closer to AWK and Perl, I kind of started to almost enjoy it.  Don&#x27;t get me wrong, it&#x27;s not my favourite language or anything.  But these days I think that it is a formidable scripting language with most of the stuff you&#x27;d normally need in place, at least in the recent versions.<p>One thing that I still dislike is the absence of something like the Unix manual pages.  For some reason, help pages require additional installation, and the learn.microsoft.com search is so awful that it&#x27;s often quicker to use DDG with &quot;site:learn.microsoft.com&quot;.
