[IronPython] Getting started with IronPython and Silverlight

[Marty Nelson]

Michael -

Is "IP in Action" written for IP 2.0?
How much is .Net integration and how much is python coding?

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:

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
