When the rules of your business change, wouldn't be nice to somehow inject new logic into your application without having to recompile it? By combining IronPython, IronRuby or Managed JavaScript with traditional languages like C# and VB.NET, you can do just that. During this session, Kevin Hazzard will show you how to host dynamic code written in Python inside a C# application, giving that language a degree of dynamism to which you're probably not accustomed. The goal of this presentation is to change your perspective on how to write resilient software. You don’t need to know Python at all to get 100% of the value of this presentation.
