IronRuby combines the elegance and flexibility of Ruby with the power of the .NET development platform. As it moves rapidly towards its official release, this new open source language is exciting more and more developers from both the Ruby and .NET camps. This is the first comprehensive, authoritative reference for every developer who wants to make the most of IronRuby. This wide-ranging, task-based guide brings together solutions that are currently scattered across the Web - if they are available at all. This book targets Release 1.0 - the stable release that is expected to trigger extensive development of production applications. Shay Friedman covers everything from IronRuby's basic syntax and features through the most advanced techniques. Friedman thoroughly explains how IronRuby leverages the new Dynamic Language Runtime (DLR) to access .NET's extensive capabilities and powerful innovations. Readers will learn how to provide data access; build WinForms and advanced WPF applications; leverage ASP.NET and ASP.NET MVC; and create rich applications with Silverlight. There's also a full chapter on writing Ruby on Rails applications with IronRuby. Friedman's coverage ranges from a full chapter on unit testing to leading-edge techniques for extending IronRuby with C# or VB.NET.
