Explore cmdlets further and construct a sequence of them in a pipeline.
Apply sound principles to your commands by using filtering and formatting.

Module 4: In this module, you begin learning the basics of programming by writing and running code in PowerShell.

After you've completed this module, you'll be able to:

Manage PowerShell inputs and outputs.
Diagnose errors when you type code incorrectly.
