There is a need for a How-To Program PowerShell for SharePoint 2013 book but this one would be better after another revision. The introduction to PowerShell should benefit of PowerShell information found in Chapter 2 in Microsoft SharePoint 2013: Designing and Architecting Solution by Shannon Bray et al and/or from the excellent short PowerShell introduction in Inside Microsoft SharePoint 2013 by Scott Hiller et al and/or from Chapter 7 in Professional SharePoint 2013 Administration by S. Young et al. For instance, Steven Mann does not even describe the pipe command in the introduction and the pipe command is also missing from the index. Nothing is mentioned about dispose issues and about the advantages of using teh all important Start-SPAssigment ... Stop-SPAssigment. In the next edition, I would also like to see the book expanded with a better introduction to PowerShell and new chapters about 1 site column/field, 2 content type, 3 lists, 4 libraries, 5 webpart set up/configuration 6 permission levels and 7 SharePoint groups, respectively; then the book would be really good.

Very concisely written, this book is relevant for both developers and administrators. It provides answers to common situations that every SharePoint person encounters, and it is logically organized so that you can locate a PS script quickly and easily.

It's basically a formula--Not a lot of insight into the technology. Not an interesting read. Might be useful as an occasional reference.

This is a very well organized book that helps explain how power shell can greatly ease SP2013 administration duties it gives a great overview for beginners and helps you get started with power shell.

Great book with good information in it
