These lessons show how Generative AI can enhance your productivity while reinforcing the importance of strong technical fundamentals. After completing this section, continue with the remaining course content to apply these concepts in practice.
See generative AI write a real PowerShell script, a Python script, a GitHub Actions workflow, a Kubernetes manifest, and a Terraform config — live, on screen. Whether you're learning to code, script, or build cloud infrastructure with AI coding assistants like ChatGPT and Copilot, this lecture sets the baseline: here's exactly what AI can already do for you, so the rest of the course can show you what it still can't.
AI can write a script in seconds — so why keep learning to write one yourself? This lecture answers that honestly, with two live, real examples in PowerShell and Python where AI-generated code looks perfect and quietly isn't. Essential for anyone using an AI coding assistant for scripting, automation, or infrastructure work who wants to close the judgment gap AI can't close for you.
A real near-miss story, reproduced live: an AI-generated script almost leaks a live API key straight to a public GitHub repo — and how an automated guardrail catches it in seconds. A must-watch for anyone using generative AI for coding, DevOps, or cloud automation who wants to build securely, not just quickly.
Beyond writing code — five real, practical ways to use generative AI every day: fast upskilling on new tools, automated documentation, smarter troubleshooting with real context, and a head start on architecture diagrams. Straight from a working Generative AI Architect's own daily toolkit, not theory — the habits that actually save time on real scripting, DevOps, and cloud engineering work.
Learn to manage Windows services with PowerShell: stop, start, and restart services; change startup type and service user accounts, using admin mode and cross-version methods.
Want to get productive with PowerShell fast, without wading through a 20-hour course first? This is a short and crisp, hands-on introduction to Windows PowerShell scripting - built for people with no prior scripting or programming background.
PowerShell is a cross-platform task automation solution - a command-line shell, a scripting language, and a configuration framework that runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS. This course focuses on the practical Windows administration skills that pay off immediately, explained in plain terminology that even non-technical learners can follow.
Designed for system administrators, IT support staff, and complete beginners, the whole goal is to get you thinking in terms of automating small daily tasks - and then building toward more logical, real automation. Concepts that aren't strictly PowerShell but help you understand it are included as a bonus.
