Is it possible to get a sample chapter to look at before I decide as to whether or not to pre-order?

Im sure once the book has finished it will have a “look inside” option on Amazon, at the moment the publisher is still going through the final phases of release.
Thanks for your interest.

Any chance you’ll be offering a Kindle version?

Hopefully so, the publisher is Sybex and I believe they offer kindle versions of their books.

I just listened to the pod cast I have already pre-ordered your book, gentlemen and I am very happy to say thank you. Finally someone is going to put out a practical book to be able to work from, after being in this industry for over 30 years now, and having spent many a dollar on books only to find all this technical blah blah that is no help to me. So I thank you in advance.. I just did a powershell course and I am about to do another one, the problem I see is yes there is a ton of good code out there, but there is a lot of bad code out there as well, the other major problem is there is no consistency in the building blocks of Powershell, please do not get me wrong I feel it is a great product, I just wish it was accross all cmdlets.. I can only hope down the road it will all come together.
Thanks alot guys for putting the time and effort into this I look forward to a great read and reference book.
Regards,

Is there anything in this book about setting preferred paths and VMHBA’s for LUN access?

All of the authors are amazing folks. I bought the book because I know there is invaluable information to be learned from these guys. I refer to Luc Dekens PowerCLI scripts ALL of the time on the VMware community forums. I’d buy any book this guy puts out.
If your still on the fence listen to the get-scripting Podcast where the authors give an in depth talk about the book. http://bit.ly/gkqUuX
