PowerShell Resources

Here are a bunch of resources for learning PowerShell and for using PowerShell with SharePoint and SharePoint Online.

If you are still using SharePoint 2010, the books are:

 and 

Notice that the first of the two SP 2010 PowerShell books is co-written by none other than Gary LaPointe, who makes the PowerShell add on commands for SharePoint that you can find here: http://blog.falchionconsulting.com/.

In addition to the books, some great online resources are:

• The Windows PowerShell Blog
• The Microsoft TechNet Script Center
• My PowerShell Building Blocks for SharePoint, on CodePlex
• My Old Blog
• PowerShell MVP Jeff Hick’s Blog, his Mr. Roboto Columns, and his Professor PowerShell Columns.
• SharePoint MVP Todd Klindt’s PowerShell-related blog posts
• The PowerShell script repository at http://poshcode.org/
• The SharePoint+PowerShell script repository at http://get-spscripts.com/
• The SP PowerShell Help Group in SPYam on Yammer
• Jack Fruh, aka SharePoint Jack, and his PowerShell related blog posts

That should be plenty.  Of course, Bing.com is always a good resource too…
