Title: Here Comes IronPython

Abstract: There's been a lot of talk lately about new languages for the .NET platform. One of these languages, IronPython, a port of the Python programming language, started out as an experiment to see how dynamic languages would perform on the CLR. The experiment proved enough of a success that it eventually gave birth to the Dynamic Language Runtime (DLR), the basis not only of IronPython, but also IronRuby and VBx. In this talk, we'll talk about the basics of IronPython and some of it's features before coding-up some examples.
