Thorough coverage of Microsoft’s new dynamic programminglanguage: Iron Python
Iron Python is a powerful and vital part of any .NET developer’stoolbox, and although it is several years old, very littleliterature exists on the topic. This essential resource fills thatvoid and provides you with an in-depth understanding of Iron Python.
A brief introduction walks you through the installation, usage, and tools of Iron Python and also explains what makes Iron Pythondifferent from other programming languages. Coverage quickly moveson to explaining how to use and work with the Iron Python language, and an in-depth look at its environment sheds light on how it canbe stand alone or with the .NET Framework. You’ll see how Iron Python can be used to create either desktop or Web-basedapplications and you’ll witness how it interacts with otherexisting technologies. In addition, coverage of advanced topicsshares techniques for extending Iron Python and making it a robustlanguage.
