Dear list,
I'm totally new to Silverlight (SL) development and it seems that I
can benefit from my Python experience by combining SL with IronPython
(at which I've never looked before, too). In the last days, I crawled
the web and tried to get an impression of what is the best way to
start. During this time, some questions came up...
1) What is the cutting-edge way to deploy an SL4/IP2.6 application?
I've basically seen two:
- The "all-in-xap-way", with the python application and assemblies
as well as the XAML in the xap file, as it is described in the article
series at
http://www.voidspace.org.uk/ironpython/silverlight/silverlight_application.shtml
- The "Gestalt way", with some magic inside, allowing to place
XAML/Python code directly in the HTML
Is the first way out-of-date? Are there more techniques? What are
advantages/disadvantages?
If you want to use "all-in-xap-way" with some .dlls served (and cached)
separately, see my blog:
http://gui-at.blogspot.com/2010/05/distributing-silverlight-application.html
4) Code compilation: Is it possible to develop using IP, but to only
deploy compiled binaries?
I've stumbled over Pyc. How to use it within the best approach of
question (1)? My naive mind sees two possible advantages:
- Could this be a solution to the traffic problem in question (2),
i.e. would this do without IP assembly provisioning?
- For some developers it could be attractive for code obfuscation.
I have the feeling that things are not that easy...
There were some promises about compilation... If you want it, vote for
