The new TechFest by Microsoft: TechTalk
The popular TechFest arranged by Microsoft will this year turn into the internation concept TechTalk from Microsoft Denmark's Development Center. This September the key note is on IronPython by Mr. Harry Pierson - welcome!
As you may know, Microsoft is developing IronPython and IronRuby, .NET implementations of the popular open-source programming languages Python and Ruby. While it is clear that Microsoft wants to attract existing Python and Ruby developers to .NET, the role of IronPython and IronRuby for existing .NET developers is less clear. What value is there for a .NET developer in learning IronPython? What are the tradeoffs between IronRuby and a more traditional .NET language like C# or VB? Harry Pierson, new Program Manager for IronPython, will discuss where dynamic . languages fit in the .NET developers toolbox.
The TechTalk will be held in English. It is open for everybody and participation is free.
