Windows PowerShell Classes provides a new method to extend the management surfaces of Windows PowerShell for developers and IT professionals alike. Using PowerShell Classes, these audiences can create Windows PowerShell artifacts in a traditional manner using formal syntax and semantics from object-orientated programming.

For example, developers would be familiar with such constructs as classes or methods. Now Windows PowerShell makes it possible for you to define these natively within the language for future use.

Windows PowerShell Classes, although not a level 200 topic that this book mainly covers, is an important improvement in the journey of Windows PowerShell so that its appeal to wider audiences becomes more apparent.

Here are some other elements that Windows PowerShell Classes support:
 Define Desired State Configuration resources by using the native Windows PowerShell language
 Define custom types (i.e., classes, properties, and methods)
 Support debug types
 Generate and handle exceptions using formal methods

Now this might seem extremely advanced right now, but we include it today to ensure that you are aware of the evolution of Windows PowerShell and how it can become an underpinning technology
to line-of-business applications today.
