Module - Introduction to IronPython

Motivation

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.

Course Content

Overview

IronPython opens up the .NET world for Python programmers. The possibilities are presented.

Terms and Versions

There are several terms and acronyms around .NET and IronPython that are important to understand the course content. We look at their meanings.

Setup of a Working Environment

We can use Python's standard library from IronPython. We set up the necessary configurations.

Use of .NET-Objects in IronPython

.NET- Assemblies can be used in IronPython. We do this in exercises.

Graphical User Interfaces with IronPython and Windows Forms

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.

Graphical User Interfaces with IronPython and the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF)

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

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.

Module Duration

0.5 days, longer courses with extended program possible

Exercises

The participants can follow all steps directly on their computers. There are exercises at the end of each unit providing ample opportunity to apply the freshly learned knowledge.

Course Material

Every participant receives comprehensive printed materials that cover the whole course content as wells as a CD with all source codes and used software.

Intended Audience

Programmers with basic Python knowledge or after taking other courses (see Recommended Module Combinations).
