What is the best way to learn PowerShell in 2026 What is the best way to learn PowerShell in 2026

I'm trying to learn power shell/ power bi for my job. I am pretty interested in it. I have coded before, but its been a while so i am rusty. What would be the best course/ ways to learn powershell from scratch? I keep seeing "powershell in a month of lunches" but ive noticed the companion videos are more than a decade old on that course, are they still relevant? If anyone a course for this paid or free, sharing it would be amazing as I am a little lost/overwhelmed on where to start and how to stay consistent.

Any help is appreciated!


AvaloniaUIShell: Cross-platform Desktop GUI framework for PowerShell AvaloniaUIShell: Cross-platform Desktop GUI framework for PowerShell

About a year ago, I released a module called WinUIShell. Leveraging that experience, I created a cross-platform GUI framework this time.

https://github.com/mdgrs-mei/AvaloniaUIShell

Historically, the GUI thread on macOS needs to be the main thread of a process. However, the thread where our PowerShell scripts run is not the main thread of a pwsh process which seems to be hard to change. I guess that's why there was no cross-platform desktop GUI solution in PowerShell. The server and client model of the module solves this problem and also simplifies the GUI blocking issue.

I will be working on adding more examples and fixing issues for a while. I'd really appreciate it if you could give it a try and let me know what you think. Thank you!
