You people drink like you don't want to live!
Is the OP (April 2010) still the best source for resources?

I have zero .NET programming knowledge and my batch jobs consist of Google results. I'm interested in just full blown learning PowerShell to make my life easier and want to pick up one or two books on the subject. Where is my best start to learn PS?

Depends on your level of understanding of .NET (you said none), powershell(none), and scripting/programming in general.

Between MSDN + Oreilly's Powershell Cookbook and you've got a TON of material at your disposal, but its also not like it's a 1-2-3 "intro to this stuff" avenue.

Oreilly generally has really good stuff though, I think they have a more introductory powershell book out too.

That's what I figured. My "programming" skills stop at PHP (for what that's worth). I barely know the MVC model, and don't know anything about OOP other than what the acronym initialism stands for.
