Piping Commands in PowerShell
We used the pipeline in our past posts. However, we did look into what they are and what they do. If you have had experience with Linux (or Bash in general), there is a good chance you know that the pipeline simply passes the output of a certain command to the command to its right. In this article, we discuss all about pipelines: Understanding the pipeline Using the pipeline to select properties Filtering the output based on a parameter How PowerShell outputs content Formatting the output Only in the end Wrapping up Understanding the pipeline Metaphorically speaking, think of a cmdlet as a machine.
A brief history of Windows

However, we had to learn C during my Bachelor’s. It was tough, at first. I mixed up syntaxes. A lot. In this post, we talk about: Aliases in PowerShell Execution Policies in PowerShell ShouldProcess and ShouldContinue Aliases in PowerShell Making the transition from CMD difficult would be counter-intuitive, especially when Microsoft wants to encourage the use of PowerShell.
