well first off, start by getting a grasp of the way that powershell works, some good resources for that are:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=B4720B00-9A66-430F-BD56-EC48BFCA154F&displaylang=en

from there, its easy to start building off of your base knowledge and start including vmware cmdlets...

some good resources for that are:

and as always, we are here to help as well!
