3. Get-Mission
Inspire you by showing you creative ways you can hook tools into PowerShell. Encourage you to add compiled cmdlets and C#/.NET to your skill set.

4. Start-Demo -ShowAndTell
VERBOSE: Many of these features would not be possible without compiled cmdlets.

5. Assert-WhyLearn -Cmdlets
Some very cool things that are only really possible via compiled cmdlets:
Proper ScriptBlock parameter usage
Derived commands with inheritance
Proxy Cmdlets
Highly performant commands
PowerShell is open source
You’re opening yourself up to PowerShell’s full potential

6. Get-Started –With Cmdlets
What you need:
Editor to build your project (e.g. Visual Studio 2017, Visual Studio Code, etc.)
Microsoft reference assemblies for the minimum PS version you are targeting
e.g. Microsoft.PowerShell.*.ReferenceAssemblies
Time and patience if this is new to you

7. Start-Demo -CompiledCmdlet
VERBOSE: Don’t be afraid, you’re already part way there!

8. Watch-PS6 PowerShell 6 is cross platform and currently in alpha
You can already compile cmdlets into a single DLL and use that module on multiple platforms (using what is essentially an alias layer)
Good time to learn basic compiled cmdlets now, then evolve your skills to cross-platform work
