Michael -
Is "IP in Action" written for IP 2.0?
Yes.
How much is .Net integration and how much is python coding?
It is a mixture of both. The book aims to be as useful to .NET
programmers coming to Python as it is to Python programmers coming to .NET.
Chapter 2 is a Python tutorial.
Chapter 3 is an introduction to .NET interop including the basic .NET types
Chapters 4-6 are on structured IronPython programming - introducing more
Python concepts (like lambdas and properties) along with .NET libraries
like Windows Forms, System.Xml and so on
The rest of the book covers specific topics - testing, advanced Python,
tricky corners of .NET interop, Silverlight, databases, ASP.NET, WPF etc.
The final two chapters cover writing C# libraries for use from
IronPython and embedding IronPython in C#.

Silverlight
Hello Kenneth,
Rob Miles has just made available his book on C# that they use for
teaching the first year of computer science at Hull university. No idea
what the book is like, but C# is a nice and straightforward language
(despite its B&D approach to typing) so it is easy to learn and the book
will probably serve you well:

For IronPython and Silverlight stuff I *highly* recommend IronPython in
Action which is apparently an *awesome* wonder of readability and
content:
http://www.ironpythoninaction.com
Other useful resources:
* IronPython Cookbook (recipes and examples) http://www.ironpython.info
* IronPython URLs (lots of links to IronPython resources)
http://ironpython-urls.blogspot.com/
* My IronPython, Silverlight and Winforms tutorials
http://www.voidspace.org.uk/ironpython/
All the best,
Michael Foord

All,
I'm just getting started with IronPython and Silverlight, and to
be honest I have not experience with C#. Are there are any basic
tutorials or material that would kick me off on both of these
subjects? I've been fiddling with the the SDL-SDK for a little while
and I've written some basic examples, but I'm still unsure as to a
couple of things. What modules (.Net or otherwise) does the python.dll
that's distributed with the sdl-sdk include? Can i extend this? If so,
how? Do I have to use it? How do I do basic operations? I've tried
using CPython's minidom, which doesn't seem to exist and imports from
System.Xml fail. Can I print to the terminal when using Chiron? Can I
set pdb traces?
I'm currently running the sdl-sdk on OS X ontop of Mono, with pretty
good success.
Thanks for all the help!
Regards,
Ken
