Irrelevant. Use
Get-Command *network #network anywhere in noun
gcm *-network* #network as first word in noun
PowerShell has it all, its just that people don't bother to learn it.

Poweshell in depth, or in month of launches.
But, experience is more important. Simply do everything in posh, even if there is a handy gui. After a few months you are closer to pro then with any books.

should't the first one be "network as last word"?

Indeed. My bad.
Discovering the cmdlets is not as trivial as it could be, because they are named verb-first instead of noun first. Get-<tab> is not as useful as NetAdapter-<tab> might be, but since things are named sensibly you can do a little guess work and use tab-completion to find what you're looking for in the vast majority of cases.
