Hi everyone, my name is Vlad Catrinescu and welcome to my course Reporting with PowerShell HTML and Enhanced HTML. I'm a Microsoft MVP from Montreal, Canada. Beautiful reports of your systems are never in XML or text format. They all use HTML. In this course you will learn how to use PowerShell to create multi-section, well formed HTML reports by using both out of the box PowerShell cmdlets and enhanced HTML PowerShell module. Some of the major topics that we will cover include an introduction to the HTML file format, creating HTML reports by using out of the box PowerShell cmdlets, and creating dynamic HTML reports with the enhanced HTML PowerShell module. By the end of this course, you will know how to create beautiful HTML reports that can display information from multiple systems and that are color coded, depending on the value inside. Before beginning this course, you should be familiar with the basics of PowerShell, HTML, and CSS. From here, you should feel comfortable diving into other PowerShell topics with courses such as Working with CSV Data in PowerShell, Accessing SQL Server Databases from PowerShell, or Working with XML Data in PowerShell.
