Learning #PowerShell syntax is the easy part. The *Why* maybe isn't so obvious. That's why I wrote my most recent book, Behind the PowerShell Pipeline based on my 20 years of PowerShell experience.

Behind the PowerShell Pipeline is not your typical newsletter. Yes, it comes to your inbox, but the content is a deep dive into #PowerShell content. Think of it more as a short book chapter. Premium supporters have complete access , including the archive going back to 2022.
