Jonathan Hartley, Resolver System, UKJonathan Hartley came to software from a background in digital electronics, by way of bit-wrangling in C, and coding Geographic Information Systems in C++ and .NET languages. Nowadays he is delighted to find himself developing in IronPython at a small start-up, Resolver Systems, surrounded by people who are smarter than he is. He lives in London with his fabulous wife Susan and two trusty guitar hero controllers.
Pumping Iron: Dynamic Languages on .NETAs you may know, Microsoft is developing IronPython and IronRuby, .NET implementations of the popular open-source programming languages Python and Ruby. While it's clear that Microsoft wants to attract existing Python and Ruby developers to .NET, the role of IronPython and IronRuby for existing .NET developers is less clear. What value is there for a .NET developer in learning IronPython? What are the tradeoffs between IronRuby and a more traditional .NET language like C# or VB? Harry Pierson, new PM for IronPython, will discuss where dynamic languages fit in the.NET developers toolbox.
