Abstract
PowerShell brings the best of both worlds: the world of administrators and the world of developers, allowing administrators to view in clear text what is being executed as part of a script, and developers to reuse their knowledge of the SharePoint object model by writing reusable modules and methods. It doesn’t require users to compile any code, and it leverages all of the power of the Microsoft .NET framework. The goal of this book is to try to bridge the gap that exists between SharePoint IT pros and developers by giving users tools enabling them to deploy, manage, and monitor their SharePoint environment themselves. By the end of the book, you will be able to perform most operations that are available through the Central Administration interface or through the SharePoint object model, by developing your own flexible and reusable PowerShell scripts.
