Objects: What an Object Is: Get-Member, Properties and Methods.

Updated: November 10, 2026

1. [What an Object Is: Get-Member](https://www.ask-codey.com/lessons/powershell-what-is-an-object) (Apprentice): Everything PowerShell shows you is an object, a thing that carries named facts called properties, the way a library book's card carries its title, author and due date, and Get-Member lists every fact an object knows.
2. [Properties and Methods](https://www.ask-codey.com/lessons/powershell-properties-and-methods) (Apprentice): A dot after an object reads one of its properties, such as a file's Length or LastWriteTime, and a dot with parentheses runs one of its methods, something the object can do, such as ToUpper() or AddDays(-7).
