I know the basics of PowerShell and want to build a stronger foundation before progressing to more advanced topics. What books, video courses, conference talks, or other study resources would you recommend for learning PowerShell in a structured way?

John Savill’s PowerShell Master Class on YouTube is another helpful course. It provides a structured overview and can be a good foundation before moving into more specialized subjects.
The PowerShell conference videos on YouTube are worth browsing. They cover everything from practical beginner techniques to more advanced administration and scripting topics.
For a guided introduction, Microsoft’s “Getting Started with PowerShell 3” video series is a reasonable option. It uses an older version, but the core syntax and concepts still apply to modern PowerShell.
“Learn PowerShell in a Month of Lunches” is an excellent starting point. It explains the fundamentals clearly and helped me realize there were gaps in my basic understanding. It isn’t a video course, but it’s one of the most useful learning resources I’ve found.
There’s also an older video series by Don Jones that covers similar beginner material.
