Presentation: "Microsoft: IronRuby, IronPython and the Dynamic Language Runtime"
Time:
Tuesday 15:15 - 16:00
Location:
To be announced
Abstract: Microsoft's three projects, born from the original work on IronPython, provide a bridge between the potentially unruly world of Dynamic Languages with the .NET world we know and love.
The DLR (Dynamic Language Runtime) underpins both IronRuby and IronPython. C# 4.0 introduces a new static type called dynamic. How do these related, and how will applications be architected to accommodate dynamic needs of business, ermerging popular languages and frameworks.
Nick will demonstrate both languages, and how they can be integrated into your existing projects: and how the nature of their construction and publication (Open source, MS-PL) is aiding the wider community.
