NET as a non-cross-platform hunk of Javaish APIs. NET can make concurrency easy and pythonic.īefore reading this book, I had dismissed. Perhaps an example where IronPython can perform a task that would be impossible on other implementations of Python is in order. I would have appreciated a chapter or section on parallel processing, since IronPython offers much better threading and concurrency primitives than CPython. (Though, I wonder if PyPy's sandboxing could someday be used in the browser to do the same thing.) Michael Foord's Try Python ( source) is a good demonstration of what can be accomplished. ![]() I found the web programming part of the book, especially the part on Silverlight, most interesting, since embedding Python in the browser seems like a lot more fun than writing cross-browser JavaScript. NET and C# developers finding the light of dynamic programming. (I'm also glad there was an appendix about C# syntax I learned that C# seems to have invented a new syntax or keyword for every possible programming paradigm.) IronPython in Action seems to do a very job, overall, of catering both Python programmers tiptoeing into IronPython and. NET people felt the same while scanning through the introduction chapters to. One thing that always slightly annoys me when I'm reading a book about Python programming is having the first few chapters devoted to introducing the Python language.
