Ask HN: How to effectively learn PowerShell?

I looked at the Microsoft Virtual academy videos [1], they cover a lot of basics but were usefeul, having the creator of powershell teach the course helped understand the philosophy behind it.

When searching for tutorials online, "the scripting guy" was useful, but more importantly I make sure to search for powershell v5, v4, or v3 tutorials. - There are lots of "old" tutorials, but I think there were major changes between Powershell v1, v2, and v3, so I try to avoid those, especially regarding modules

I checked this thread out just to make sure someone posted this link. I have not found a better resource for learning PowerShell anywhere. It covers what makes PowerShell special, and then gives an excellent primer on the language. Start here.

Maybe it's just me but I find this series incredibly annoying to watch. I doubt I can tolerate 5 hours of these two. Each hour of video has 10 minutes of content.
