IronPython is the .NET implementation of Python by Microsoft. IronPython is a full-featured .NET language. Basically, everything that can be done with C# or Visual Basic can be done with IoronPython. The course provides an overview of IornPython features detailing some of them.
IronPython opens up the .NET world for Python programmers. The possibilities are presented.
There are several terms and acronyms around .NET and IronPython that are important to understand the course content. We look at their meanings.
We can use Python's standard library from IronPython. We set up the necessary configurations.
.NET- Assemblies can be used in IronPython. We do this in exercises.
We can create graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) with IronPython and Windows Forms. Windows Forms is the proofen technology by Microsoft that provides a large variety of controls. We write a small Windos Forms based program and work with it.
The Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) is the new way to write GUIs for Windows. WPF offers interesting new possibilities but does not yet have so many controls as Windows Forms. We work with XAML, the XML description of WPF GUIs and combine this with IronPython code to implement event handlers.
Silverlight is Microsoft's new technology for rich internet applications (RIAs). We look at version 2 and implement a small application in Silverlight and IronPython. We get to know the setup of Silverlight projects with IronPython and modify our sample program.
0.5 days, longer courses with extended program possible
