Application Development Using IronPython
========================================

IronPython is an implementation of Python that runs on Microsoft's
.NET framework. It brings all the advantages of Python to the .NET
world, providing a powerful and dynamic way to rapidly develop Windows
applications. 

This talk first introduces IronPython, how it relates to .NET and
compares to CPython. A simple IronPython program will be dynamically
created from the interative shell, demonstrating some common
IronPython development techniques. 

A large real-world IronPython application, Resolver One, will be
demonstrated.  This unique new spreadsheet application takes full
advantage of the power of Python, being a Python development
environment written in IronPython.

The presentation will finish with a demonstration of developing a real
multimedia application using IronPython. Windows Forms, event
handling, using external .NET APIs and integrating C# classes will be
discussed and demonstrated.
