Summary
This chapter has provided a very basic introduction to PowerShell, from a brief history to environments, cmdlets, and pipelines. This should be enough to get you familiarized with PowerShell fundamentals, a skill you will need to work with the next chapters. It is also important to remember how you can learn more about PowerShell using cmdlets such as Get-Help, Get-Command, and Get-Member.
