PowerShell is a go-to scripting language for almost ANYTHING! Now, if you’re hoping to learn Python, then you’re in the right place. As you start this course, you’ll begin to notice that there are a lot of patterns and concepts shared between the two languages. 

Thus during this course, you will easily be able to relate new Python concepts to the concepts you already know in PowerShell, a learning style called Associative Learning. 

This PowerShell Scripting guide to Python is designed to make you familiar with syntax, semantics, and core concepts of the Python language. And by using concepts you already know in PowerShell, you’ll be able to learn Python fast and effectively in a way that sticks with you for a longer period of time.

Learning Python through PowerShell Concepts

# Accessing XML as Objects

Once the XML document is parsed in PowerShell, it will be converted into objects which can be accessed using the dot operator ( `.` ) and can navigate nodes of the parsed XML tree, like in the following example.




<data>  
    <employee>
        <id>101</id>
        <first>Prateek</first>
        <last>Singh</last>
    </employee>
    <employee>
        <id>102</id>
        <first>Bob</first>
        <last>Francis</last>
    </employee>
</data>


[xml]$xmldoc=Get-Content -Path '\usercode\Test.xml'
# returns Array of XML child nodes
$xmldoc.data.employee
# accessing a data value
$xmldoc.data.employee[0].first

Similarly, an XML document parsed and converted to objects using the `ElementTree` module in Python can be accessed and navigated using the Dot operator ( `.` ) to get the value between any XML nodes, like in the following example.
