In this chapter, we explored the help system that's built into PowerShell. We took a brief look at syntax, examples, and parameters. We also looked at how help content may be moved between computers.

Command naming and discovery introduced how we might use the verb-noun pairing to discover commands that can be used. Aliases were introduced briefly.

Parameters and parameter sets were explored, as well as different types of parameters.

We took a basic look at providers and how they are used before taking a look at handling long command lines using splatting.

In Chapter 2, Modules and Snap-ins, we will explore the commands that are used to find, install, and load modules in PowerShell.
