I've set myself a goal of getting up to speed on Windows PowerShell, Microsoft's new* tool for Windows administration.
I've started by watching the Windows PowerShell: Learn It Now Before It's An Emergency webcast videos. I can't watch them online at work (my desktop doesn't have Silverlight installed), but it is possible to download them to Windows Media (WMV) format and play them in Windows Media Player, so that's what I'm doing.
The narrator for the webcasts is by Ed Wilson, author of the Hey, Scripting Guy! blog. Of course, Wilson references the Hey, Scripting Guy! blog in the video, and links to a couple of tagged subsets as well - Getting Started, and the Scripting Wife articles.
Besides the webcast, I've started reading the Windows PowerShell Getting Started Guide in the Windows Desktop Development Center.
* OK, PowerShell has actually been around in a release version since 2006. It's new to me, anyway.
