The document introduces PowerShell as a command line tool and scripting language that is useful for IT professionals and developers working with technologies like SharePoint, SQL Server, and Windows. It notes several reasons why developers should learn PowerShell, including that it allows performing tasks faster than a user interface, is required for features like hybrid networking and solution deployment, and is endorsed by Microsoft. The document then provides an overview of some basic PowerShell concepts like variables, arrays, hashtables, looping, and functions to demonstrate that the language is code-based and approachable for developers to learn.

Editor's Notes
- What’s the mix? Developers? IT Pros? Everyone Else?How many have used PowerShell?
- CMD tool that understands regular command line in addition to CmdletsCmdlets – POSH specific commandSTSADM replacement for SP10+
- ISE – Visual commands new to POSH 3.0Intellisense on ISE+
- Hyper-V & VMWare – not VB natively, but there are wrappers for itSame syntax across all platformsComplex multi-item delete – may have to wait for site/list to load, may need to create view, just to check select allLow cost of entry to env – no need for deployablesMSFT is full steam ahead on POSH – expect support for most products
- JS – executes in order – Functs before calls
