Target Audience \ Reader

Beginners:

This is exactly the book for beginners, that provides the blue print (WHAT you should learn first) and a road-map (HOW to learn) in one place. You can quickly learn core concepts and gain high-level understanding with this Interview reference offering and Rapidly build PowerShell vocabulary so that no topic or concept is unfamiliar to you in the Interview.

Intermediate to Advance:

The more you learn, the more you realize how little you know! Honestly nobody knows everything.there is always some scope for improvement .That being said, Writing this book was me "scratching my own itch", when you are good at something interviewers expect more out of you and you can not get away with partial answers and "I don't know's". You have to be on point, precise and deliver more than expected, which is exactly the format this book is offering.

From personal experience this Interview Reference Enables the readers to Revise and Brush up PowerShell skills in no time, and my honest intention with this book is to replicate the same experience in your life and career. Good luck and Happy Reading!
