For those who’ve purchased The PowerShell Scripting & Toolmaking Book on Leanpub, you should know there’s a major update available. Details follow.
Hicks has been hard at work on this update, which includes fun stuff like working with CSV files, building auto-completers, custom logging, and a lot more, in addition to PowerShell 7-specific content.
If you’ve not bought the book, the minimum price is about $5 higher now. This update illustrates the continued commitment to the book, and the advantage of paying a bit more up-front for a “Forever Edition,” where you get all future updates for free.
Hope you enjoy!
