The Big Book of PowerShell Gotchas

by (mostly) Don Jones

PowerShell is full of “gotchas” - little things that just get in your way and are hard to figure out on your own. This short book is intended to help you figure them out and avoid them.

Check for Updates! Our ebooks are often updated with new and corrected content. We make them available in three ways:

GitBook and LeanPub have slightly different PDF formatting output, so you can choose the one you prefer. LeanPub can also notify you when we push updates. Our main GitHub repo is authoritative; repositories on other sites are usually just mirrors used for the publishing process. GitBook will usually contain our latest version, including not-yet-finished bits; LeanPub always contains the most recent “public release” of any book.
