PowerShell Description

PowerShell is a cross platform task automation and configuration management framework. It consists of a command-line shell as well as a scripting language. PowerShell, unlike other shells that accept and return text, is built on top the.NET Common Language Runtime. (CLR) and accepts and returns.NET object. This fundamental change introduces new tools and methods of automation. PowerShell cmdlets can deal with objects, rather than traditional command-line interfaces. An object is structured information, which is more than the string of characters displayed on the screen. Command output always contains additional information that you can access if you require it. You'll notice a difference in how text-processing tools behave in PowerShell if you've previously used them to process data. To extract specific information, you don’t usually need text-processing software. You can directly access parts of the data by using standard PowerShell object syntax.

    A great command-line shell, now cross-platform!

    Date: Jul 23 2022

    Summary: Overall PowerShell is a fantastic command-line shell that has served the windows community for many years. Now that it's available on all platforms, people can make use of its extensible feature set everywhere.

    Positive: - excellent built-in shell utilities (pipes for chaining commands, in-console help system, built in theming)
    - easy extensibility through functions, classes, scripts and modules
    - built in JSON support
    - open-source and free

    Negative: - PS scripting language can be a bit obtuse and uses different syntax than other languages (for example, -eq instead of ==)
