Are there free video classes?

There are several days worth of free PowerShell classes available via Channel 9, in fact, the first two courses we used to recommend for anyone would be the full-day length "Getting Started with Microsoft PowerShell" and "Advanced Tools & Scripting with PowerShell 3.0 Jump Start" which are both presented by Microsoft Technical Fellow and inventor of PowerShell Jeffrey Snover, working with Jason Helmick.

• Getting Started with Microsoft PowerShell

• Advanced Tools & Scripting Jump Start

Are there any videos about PowerShell DSC?

Of course! Microsoft Technical Fellow and so-called ShellFather Jeffrey Snover, and current PowerShell PM Jason Helmick put together "Getting Started" and "Advanced" courses for PowerShell DSC (Desired State Configuration), which reach run about a whole day.

• Getting Started with PowerShell Desired State Configuration

• Advanced PowerShell Desired State Configuration (DSC) and Custom Resources

Is there any free video training for PowerShell 5?

There's a lot. Channel 9 has a series of PowerShell 5 videos from 2016 by MVP Trevor Sullivan which are pretty short and basic on their PowerShell show. That same year, the PowerShell Team put together almost a whole day of content to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of PowerShell in production.

There are many other videos available on MVA of course, and on Channel 9 -- including the recent 10th Anniversary event, and Jeffrey Snover and Don Jones' annual "PowerShell Unplugged" presentations at Ignite, and an awful lot of content on Pluralsight...

Where are all the PowerShell Unplugged videos?

Here are all the PowerShell Unplugged videos we could find, starting in: 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 I can't find, and 2019 I only found on YouTube and Pluralsight, 2020 was different, of course -- and 2021 isn't available (yet).
