It is good one for a beginner and explained the concepts as very simple to understand. I was able to understand the concepts in an easy manner and also got more confidence on PowerShell. I really appreciate your efforts and it could be more better if can add few more details on Error handling and Functions. Thank you!

For me, it was a nice refresher course, and I even learned some things I had not noticed before. I appreciated how the instructor performed the concepts he taught so you could see how it could be applied in real-time.

Solid basics but very little practical application and ability to play with the code, especially since the MS Labs which are used in the course are no longer available.

It was a great course, very helpful, now I understand the basics of PS code. I think that could be better if the course add more practice and complex examples.

Good intro course, perhaps some very straightforward things could be cut down, or not repeated this many times.

The course is nice and interesting. Just the last lesson about hash tables... there is something I do not get. May be I missed the key point.... Anyway so far it is good use of my time. I recommend the course.

A good resource to learn just need to update the part for Microsoft labs since it is no longer an option now you have to pay also the last version of Powershell is now 7 but overall is a great resource already enroll in another course from Kevin Brown for Windows Server.

Kevin's explanation of the scripts is very helpful. I have PowerShell experience, however this course has taught me so much, for being half way through it!

As always, Kevin has a great way to break down the material step by step, making it easy for us to understand. Enjoy learning so far!

I really liked the presenter and there were some really good topics. Everything was very well explained.

Good intro until we got to the ChatGPT section. Wondering if the latter part of the course content is geared more towards learning "short cuts" vs how to learn what Powershell can be used for, in daily environments.

This course has really helped me. I needed to write a powershell script in a very short time. Without this course, I won't have been able to finish the project in time.
