PowerShell Training

Just wondering if anyone here has used Don Jones' PowerShell training course or if you can suggest another resource?

It's time I updated my scripting skills to include PowerShell and I'm looking for some comprehensive self study options.

I've been skimming through 3 different books as I try to pick up some PowerShell for use in Exchange 2007:

MS Press PowerShell Step-by-Step (available as a free e-book download from Microsoft)
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/windowsserver2008/default.mspx#
MS Press PowerShell Scripting Guide
O'Reilly's PowerShell Cookbook

For more books, you can check out the Windows Powershell Blog and search for their Tower of Power, which is a listing of powershell books.

Awesome book that I look through daily just for fun (sick i know)

Wrox "Windows Powershell for Exchange Server 2007 SP1"

.. an instructor I met showed me his copy one day, liked it enough to throw down 30 bones for it.

Its nice if you dont really like to go through the get-help all the time and its got some really good examples.

Thanks Claymore for the links to those books, I'll have a look.

CoryS is that focused just on what you need to know for Exchange or does it cover everything first? It sounds like something to add on after I'm a PowerShell wizard.
