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



# The Help System

Python and PowerShell are both equipped with an inbuilt help system so that developers and users can easily understand the concept, modules, and elements of the scripting language. An inbuilt help system also assists in introspection of various object types and understanding how a module and program will work.


# Get-Help cmdlet in PowerShell

PowerShell provides a very robust help system through the `Get-Help` cmdlet, where we can read the help documents on an array of topics and concepts. The `Get-Help` cmdlet can be run against strings and keywords with wildcards to return detailed help documentation. These can be referred to as examples and use cases to understand how PowerShell works or to explain concepts, including the elements of the Windows PowerShell language.

The following code sample returns the help document for the `Get-Process` cmdlet.

```PowerShell
Get-Help Get-Process

## use the -Full switch parameter to return complete documentation
Get-Help Get-Process -Full
```
Run the above commands in the terminal below to see it working.
