PowerShell Unleashed – Third Edition

Considering that PSH v2.0 is slowly making its way down the aisle it is fast becoming time that we started looking towards updating the 2nd edition of the Unleashed book. However, a lot has changed not only with PSH itself, but with many of the “things” that now rely upon it. So, it might be in the best interest of everyone if (the authors included) we ensure that changes to the book address of need.

I myself might slant the book towards what I the reader might want. Thus, PowerShell topic would be written such that security, Active Directory, tons of examples, etc. would take greater precedence over things I’m not as interested in. Additionally, the other authors on this title, will most likely slant things towards their interests. Nevertheless, at the end of the day, the book is not for us. It for you the reader.

With this in mind, and with an understanding that we are just starting the process of looking into flushing out what a Third Edition might look like. I’m going to ask you the reader for any type of input into the things that you would like to see.

Don’t be shy… no matter what it is, please comment on this posting.
