This question seems to pop up more frequently now that Windows 10 is released to the wild and more of you are seeing PowerShell 5.0 for the first time. The short answer is no updates are planned. Here's why.<\/p>\n<p>If you are just getting started with PowerShell, which is the target audience for the set of books, the fundamentals haven't really changed since PowerShell 3.0. In fact some fundamentals are unchanged since v2. Yes, there are a few new features in v5, but they are not features essential to you learning PowerShell. In fact once you understand the essential features, learning those new features on your own isn't that difficult.<\/p>\n<p>I realize potential buyers might look at the book and consider it \"out-dated\" but it isn't. We developed these books to have a long shelf-life precisely because PowerShell fundamentals don't change based on a version number. Sure, this might change at some point but so far we haven't seen anything new in PowerShell that warrants revising the books for a beginning user.<\/p>\n<p>Don and I have heard from many of you on how much you enjoy the books and how learning PowerShell has changed your career for the better. That is very humbling and I truly appreciate your support and trust. We hope you'll continue to recommend these books to your friend and colleagues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Don Jones and I are often asked about our Month of Lunches books and when we are going to update them.
