Recommend me some training!

[Tom Foolery]

I am now working in a shop that does all things Microsoft, and while I do alright with Azure and Windows in general, I feel that my PowerShell is just too rusty. Are there any online training providers like Codecademy or A Cloud Guru that specialize in PowerShell?

I am also working on my Azure certs, so if anyone has a good site for learning more about Azure, I would love to hear your recommendations.

Pluralsight? Lynda? I’m actually not super up to date on this either?

It almost doesn't matter. Pick a training program. They're all equally...weak. But they server as good introductions.

As with all things, the best way is to learn by doing. Pick something you want to do, and figure it out. For both Powershell and Azure.

I've been a Windows admin for 20 years. The most useful skill, by far? Knowing how to Google for the answer.

The most useful software for a Windows admin? PDQ Deploy and PDQ Inventory. Push *hard* to get those if you don't have them already.

The second most useful software? SmartDeploy.

If you want a book, Learn PowerShell in a Month of Lunches is good.
