Hello Kenneth,

Rob Miles has just made available his book on C# that they use for teaching the first year of computer science at Hull university. No idea what the book is like, but C# is a nice and straightforward language (despite its B&D approach to typing) so it is easy to learn and the book will probably serve you well:

For IronPython and Silverlight stuff I *highly* recommend IronPython in Action which is apparently an *awesome* wonder of readability and content:

Other useful resources:

* IronPython Cookbook (recipes and examples) http://www.ironpython.info
* IronPython URLs (lots of links to IronPython resources) http://ironpython-urls.blogspot.com/ * My IronPython, Silverlight and Winforms tutorials http://www.voidspace.org.uk/ironpython/

All the best,

Michael Foord

All,

I'm just getting started with IronPython and Silverlight, and to be honest I have not experience with C#. Are there are any basic tutorials or material that would kick me off on both of these subjects? I've been fiddling with the the SDL-SDK for a little while and I've written some basic examples, but I'm still unsure as to a couple of things. What modules (.Net or otherwise) does the python.dll that's distributed with the sdl-sdk include? Can i extend this? If so, how? Do I have to use it? How do I do basic operations? I've tried using CPython's minidom, which doesn't seem to exist and imports from System.Xml fail. Can I print to the terminal when using Chiron? Can I set pdb traces?

I'm currently running the sdl-sdk on OS X ontop of Mono, with pretty good success.

Thanks for all the help!

Regards,
Ken
