I'd also recommend spinning up a virtual environment with at least 1 server and 2 workstations. Windows Server 2016 and Windows 10 Enterprise both have evaluation editions you can download and install for free.

Then once you have the basics down, the followup book has been incredibly helpful in getting me putting together cmdlets that act more like native ones

I came across that one and I was concerned that it's from 2013. I know not much changes in AD, apart from Azure AD, but I'm worried some notable features would be missing.

I also saw the Mastering series (from O'Reilly, right?), and I figured they'd probably be good, but again, I want to ask before I buy, hah.

I've watched that same series and, while I knew much of the content, there was a lot I didn't. It was very much worth the watch, for anyone else perusing this post.

I grabbed this, too, after I watched that.https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/1617295094/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

EDIT: I received the book yesterday and had my first lunch-date with it today.

I've been trying to flex my PowerShell as much as possible at work and in my virtual machines. I'm even running one VM as a core/non-desktop instance just to I can be forced to use the commands on it.
