ISBN: 9781933988337.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2005, Microsoft quietly announced an initiative to bring dynamic languages to the .NET platform. The starting point for this project was a .NET implementation of Python, dubbed IronPython. After a couple years of incubation, IronPython is ready for real-world use. It blends the simplicity, elegance, and dynamism of Python with the power of the .NET framework.\nIronPython in Action offers a comprehensive, hands-on introduction to Microsofts exciting new approach for programming the .NET framework. It approaches IronPython as a first class .NET language, fully integrated with the .NET environment, Visual Studio, and even the open-source Mono implementation. Youll learn how IronPython can be embedded as a ready-made scripting language into C# and VB.NET programs, used for writing full applications or for web development with ASP. Even better, youll see how IronPython works in Silverlight for client-side web programming.\nIronPython opens up exciting new possibilities. Because its a dynamic language, it permits programming paradigms not easily available in VB and C#. In this book, authors Michael Foord and Christian Muirhead explore the world of functional programming, live introspection, dynamic typing and duck typing , metaprogramming, and more.\nIronPython in Action explores these topics with examples, making use of the Python interactive console to explore the .NET framework with live objects. The expert authors provide a complete introduction for programmers to both the Python language and the power of the .NET framework. The book also shows how to extend IronPython with C#, extending C# and VB.NET applications with Python, using IronPython with .NET 3.0 and Powershell, IronPython as a Windows scripting tool, and much more.\nPurchase of the print book comes with an offer of a free PDF, ePub, and Kindle eBook from Manning. Also available is all code from the book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Manning","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44956539781173,"sku":"ByrdShop_1933988339","price":59.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781933988337_25e2d5dd-ba48-4d6a-bb11-2aedb3640559.jpg?v=1778823219","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/ironpython-in-action-9781933988337","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
