Course OutlineModule 1: PowerShell FundamentalsIntroduced in 2006, Windows PowerShell is a scripting language, a command-line shell, and a scripting platform built on Microsoft .NET Framework. Despite the scripting designation, Windows PowerShell features a range of characteristics common for programming languages, including its object-oriented nature, extensibility, C#-like syntax, and the ability to interact directly with .NET classes, their properties, and methods.
The primary objective of Windows PowerShell was to help IT professionals and power users control and automate the administration of the Windows operating system and applications that run on Windows. With the introduction of .NET Core in 2016, Microsoft extended the scope of PowerShell to other operating system platforms, leading to an open-source, GitHub-hosted project, named PowerShell Core. You can use PowerShell Core on macOS 10.12, a variety of 64-bit Linux distributions, in addition to the 32-bit and 64-bit Windows operating system, including Windows 10 running on Advanced Reduced Instruction Set Computing Machine (ARM) devices.
