IronPython is a native implementation of Python on the Microsoft .NET platform. The implementation is from Microsoft and the language is well supported by the Visual Studio development environment which has always been one of the Microsoft platform's strengths. Though Python is often associated with the Free and Open Source communities, consultants and developers frequently need to solve real-world problems using Python on the .NET platform. IronPython makes using Python in these situations a natural choice for the Python programmer.
Our speaker for the evening is Myles Braithwaite, a local consultant and developer. He is going to give us an idea of how developing a web application using ASP.NET looks when using IronPython instead of C#, as well as his impressions of the platform. As usual, we will hold the presentation at Linux Caffe, gathering for introductions at 6:30 PM, with the formal presentation beginning at 7:00 PM. We normally head out around 8:30 PM for beer, coffee and/or ice cream. You can find directions and maps to Linux Caffe on the wiki: http://web.engcorp.com/pygta/wiki/NextMeeting Hope to see you all there, Mike -- ________________________________________________ Mike C.
