[IronPython] Getting started with IronPython and Silverlight

[Marty Nelson]

Great.  I was looking for some IronPython books for our developers and
testers, I'll order a bunch.

When is it going to be available?

Yes.

It is a mixture of both. The book aims to be as useful to .NET 
programmers coming to Python as it is to Python programmers coming to
.NET.

Chapter 2 is a Python tutorial.
Chapter 3 is an introduction to .NET interop including the basic .NET
types
Chapters 4-6 are on structured IronPython programming - introducing more

Python concepts (like lambdas and properties) along with .NET libraries 
like Windows Forms, System.Xml and so on

The rest of the book covers specific topics - testing, advanced Python, 
tricky corners of .NET interop, Silverlight, databases, ASP.NET, WPF
etc.

The final two chapters cover writing C# libraries for use from 
IronPython and embedding IronPython in C#.
