Acknowledgments

Books simply don’t write, edit, and publish themselves. Don would like to thank everyone at Manning Publications who decided to take a chance on a very different kind of book for Windows PowerShell, and who worked so hard to make the first edition of this book happen. Jeff would like to thank Don for inviting him along for the ride, and all the PowerShell community for their enthusiasm and support. Don and Jeff are both grateful to Manning for allowing them to continue the “Month of Lunches” series with this second edition.

Thanks also to the following peer reviewers who read the manuscript during its development and provided feedback: Bennett Scharf, Dave Pawson, David Moravec, Keith Hill, and Rajesh Attaluri; also to James Berkenbile and Trent Whiteley for their technical review of the manuscript and code during production.
