PS really is the bomb. Been a Windows sysadmin for a decade and I couldn't do a damned thing without PS. I have no modern programming or scripting experience, yet picked up PowerShell and started implementing it very quickly. If you're running Active Directory, it's a must, no question.

Snover has some great intro to PS videos. That's what got me started.

Is there a premium on hyphens?

in Powershell, yes. the cmdlet naming convention is Verb-CamelCase.

Only specific verbs are allowed as well. It works if the convention is broken, but it'll complain when you import them as a module.

It's fuzzy in my memory, but didn't these all get auto-generated name s? I don't think it was AI, this predates most of that, but there was some system they were using to auto-generate cmdlets
