Question

What is Windows PowerShell and Unix for?
Hi I love dos!, love navigating in it, programming batch files, the works, so I thought since their is no modern day dos for windows 7, and employers aren't looking for batch file programmers anymore, that I should get into something like Unix or Windows PowerShell, only trouble is I am not an experienced C programmer(though I would like to be) and I don't really know(apart from navigation) what Unix or PowerShell are for?, can you explain and tell me the possible types of Jobs I could get either online or elsewhere with both Unix and Powershell(not both at a time lol)

Can you also tell me what the default learning time is for both Unix and PowerShell?,
By the way I live in Australia, so I don't know if their will be any jobs there.

Also what other skills are required for possible jobs using either Unix or PowerShell?
Thanks for your help :)

Also please let me know if I posted in the right section and if not where I should of Posted?

PS: is there any software/os similar to Unix/Dos/PowerShell?

Answer 1

Windows PowerShell is Microsoft's task automation framework, consisting of a command-line shell and associated scripting language built on top of, and integrated with the .NET Framework. PowerShell provides full access to COM and WMI, enabling administrators to perform administrative tasks on both local and remote Windows systems.



As for Unix,



Unix (officially trademarked as UNIX, sometimes also written as Unix) is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system.



And just so you know, Win7 does have dos ;D

With a UNIX background, you can become a system administrator in IT. PowerShell is basically UNIX commands compatible with .NET, and to my knowledge is not used except in enterprise when short scripts need to be written for Exchange or SQL Server or any other technology like that.

The squeaky wheel gets the grease -- and precise now that squeaky wheel is Islam. Edit: i'm no longer equating extremist Muslims with atheists. merely drawing a parallel.
