> Discovering the cmdlets is not as trivial as it could be, because they are named verb-first instead of noun first

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"?
