Really great book which I read from end to end. I am in IT dealing with server administration and automation. If you are looking for a great powershell 3.0 resource this book is it! Beyond the basics of simple cmdlet execution and a book I would recommend to any IT Admin.

I have only worked through three chapters of this book but the material is very in depth. There are things about Powershell the author describes in this book that I have not found anywhere else. It is especially good in helping the user avoid a lot of "gotchas".
