DESCRIPTION
Video at: http://www.develop.com/webcasts/watch/528febe6d588bf0a1c55306e/python-for-the-csharp-developer If you love C# and .NET, you may be surprised to see how many of the features you love also exist in Python (often first). Python is a wonderful language. It is a clean high-level language which values readability over many trade-offs. You can build web applications serving billions of monthly page views. You can build cross-platform GUI applications such as DropBox. You can access amazingly powerful database servers such as MongoDB and SQL Server. But did you know many of the things you absolutely love about C# also exist in Python? Lambda expressions - check. foreach loops - check. Rich class library - check. Iterators - check. And there is more. Come learn about all the things you love from C# and see how they are accomplished in Python.

Agenda
● Introduce the basics of the Python language
● Review what is awesome about C# and .NET
● Explore Python's version of each C# / .NET feature
● Batteries included (large standard library)● High-level programming language● Interpreted (sometimes JIT compiled)● Object-oriented (especially Python 3)● Strongly-typed with dynamic semantics● Syntax emphasizes readability● Supports modules and packages
The Python language in 10 minutes
The ‘shape’ of a Python program
● Python defines code blocks
(known as suites in Python)
using whitespace and colons.
What's awesome about C# and .NET?
System.Object: Everything is an object. LINQ
IEnumerable + foreach loops Visual Studio / IDEs
Class properties ( int Age {get; set;} ) Side-by-side execution (isolation)
Anonymous types Iterator methods / yield return
Add reference Anonymous methods / lambdas / closures
NuGET package management Base class libraries
Entity Framework / ORMs JIT compilation
Great debugging tools Resharper and IDE plugins
