Hi!
I keep a list of resources I've found helpful for learning PowerShell here. Books, cheat sheets, videos, etc.
Highlights (from my perspective)
If you prefer videos:
If you prefer books:
If you learn by example:
Stop by #powershell on IRC (Freenode), and check out twitter. Many folks idle or chat in the IRC channel, and from my perspective, you can't beat twitter for up to date PowerShell content.
If you want to see the vision for PowerShell, check out the Monad Manifesto
Good luck!
You'll have to grab a book on the topic- one of the big hurdles most people face is just figuring out the sort of questions you've asked at the end here: how do I execute a script? how do I write portable code? where can I execute this script?
The answer to all of these depend greatly on the script. A generic script can be executed from any machine with powershell installed and an execution policy of "remotesigned" or better.
Here's the book I like:
