Egypt 1st meeting results
Last Friday was the date for
the 1st EgyPy meeting. Few people showed up. We discussed the release of IronPython 2 Alpha 3, IronRuby, Microsoft support for dynamic languages & DLR.
Also,
Dody showed us
Havana, our CMS which we built using C# & IronPython 1.1. Havana is different because
- Havana is not strictly a CMS. It's a content management framework with a helper interface.
- It supports uploading of content in zipped files
- Command-line interface: So you can type "zip *.jpg" and get all your .jpg images compressed in a zip file!!!
- It supports IronPython scripting: It's not just for designers
We discussed how Havana uses IronPython & the chances of integrating DLR with it. Writing a workflow DSL in IronRuby will be very nice
