I haven't been able to play with IronPython for a while now, work has been rather busy and I have also just received a copy of Programming .NET Security from the folks at O'Reilly to read and review. So far I am rather impressed with the book. This morning when I woke up I decided to sit down and play around with IronPython again. I love the fact that I can simple write a script yet have the power of the .NET Framework available to me at the same time. With the following script we can...

So because of my recent interests with IronPython, I decided I should learn Python to better understand everything.

Anyway, I wanted to come up with a nice example of how Python works within Windows to help me better understand the language. I was watching Crossing Jordan tonight with Megan when I though of the script I threw together on Friday at work and how it would be a...

I just got to thinking as I went through some of his code, how could generics help out when writing this language. So for an example I took a look at the Slot class and just a random method from his CodeGen class. The Slot class looks something like this:   public abstract class Slot { public abstract void emitGet(CodeGen cg); public abstract...
