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

# Creating our First Script

Scripts are programs written for a special runtime environment that can automate a list of tasks or operations which would have otherwise been done manually. A script can consist of nearly any number of lines of code, written to meet a certain requirement. In this chapter, we will learn to create our first script and various approaches to run them in PowerShell and Python.

# Saving Commands as a Script File

PowerShell scripts are just a text file saved with a `.ps1` extension. That is all we need to create a script. Simple!




On the other hand, Python scripts are saved as a `.py` extension.



Once the files are saved, we can see them in File Explorer with their respective icons highlighted in the following screenshot.
