Python in a strange land: IronPython and ASP.NET at the next PyGTA

[Mike C. Fletcher]

IronPython is a native implementation of Python on the Microsoft .NET 
platform.  The implementation is from Microsoft and the language is well 
supported by the Visual Studio development environment which has always 
been one of the Microsoft platform's strengths.  Though Python is often 
associated with the Free and Open Source communities, consultants and 
developers frequently need to solve real-world problems using Python on 
the .NET platform.  IronPython makes using Python in these situations a 
natural choice for the Python programmer.

Our speaker for the evening is Myles Braithwaite, a local consultant and 
developer.  He is going to give us an idea of how developing a web 
application using ASP.NET looks when using IronPython instead of C#, as 
well as his impressions of the platform.

As usual, we will hold the presentation at Linux Caffe, gathering for 
introductions at 6:30 PM, with the formal presentation beginning at 7:00 
PM.  We normally head out around 8:30 PM for beer, coffee and/or ice 
cream.  You can find directions and maps to Linux Caffe on the wiki:

Hope to see you all there,
Mike
