PowerShell is built on top of .NET, and most PowerShell scripts interact with .NET constantly often without explicitly acknowledging it.

Things like objects, properties & methods are all rooted in .NET behavior.
PowerShell abstracts a lot of this away, which is convenient early on, but it can also leave gaps in our understanding.

So I will try to unpack .NET in PowerShell as it relates to PowerShell with the intent of understanding this relationship deeper to really understand PowerShell itself deeper.

I will cover the following topics:
🔹Unpack data we interact with it's types and how it will all rooted in System.Objects. What that even means
🔹Including how it makes PowerShell powerful compared to say... bash (always fun to bash on bash)
🔹We will explore Classes, how they are the blueprints to everything we instantiate.
🔹We will explore their components (namespaces, members, arguments)
🔹Then we will explore some examples to highlight the power of .NET (list[T] vs +=, LINQ to compare large data, Use Math Class, Storing creds via .NET, etc)

With this we demystify .NET from PowerShell so we can start using it more confidently in our PowerShell Scripts.
