Slides and Code Samples from my Talk at LIDNUG - What?!? C# Could Do That???

On Thursday I had the honor to do a virtual talk at LIDNUG – the LinkedIn .NET User Group. A stage where lots of .NET celebs like Scott Gu, Jeffery Richter, Jeff Prosise and others have talked in the past. I’d like to thank all the attendees and the LIDNUG crew who made this possible – Inbar, Peter and Brian – you guys rock! About the talk – I focused on the dynamic capabilities of C#. Started with some black magic done using the dynamic keyword, then moved on to practice witchcraft with the combination...

IronRuby and IronPython are Officially Handed Over to the Community, IronRuby Tools for VS is Out and More!

I’m so happy! finally some good news about IronRuby! As you might know, IronRuby and IronPython got to a dead-end inside Microsoft a few months ago, a move that set a firestorm within the community which demanded Steve Balmer’s head on a stick (yea, we’re loco here in the DLR land!). Since then we lived in uncertainty regarding the future of these languages, walked among the crowd with tears in our eyes and prayed every night to the God of open-source to help us in these horrible times. But yesterday...

The Official Response from Microsoft about the IronRuby Situation

A few days ago someone asked on the IronRuby mailing list if there were news about the future of IronRuby. In return, Tomas Matousek, the last active IronRuby developer inside Microsoft, posted Microsoft’s official position (which apparently was published some time ago): "At this time, we have no announcements to make beyond what we announced in July 2010 — that we were putting these [IronRuby and IronPython] under the Apache License v2.0. Clearly, there is customer and community interest in...

Wrapping up my trip to Japan – TechEd and RubyKaigi

A few days ago I got back from Japan, where I gave 2 talks – one at TechEd Japan and one at RubyKaigi. Honestly, it was a breathtaking experience for me. First of all, Japan… it’s so different! someone even called it “an alternate universe”. Japanese people are so kind and so well-behaved. And everything is clean. Sooooo freaking clean!!!! I must recommend you to visit Japan if you haven’t don’t it already. It is an experience you wouldn’t want to miss. Secondly, I had a unique opportunity to speak...

Keep your Chin Up Child and Wipe the Tears from your Eyes

[Cross-posted from my main blog: http://www.ironshay.com/post/Keep-your-Chin-Up-Child-and-Wipe-the-Tears-from-your-Eyes.aspx ] Last week was hysterical. It started with a flight to Nashville and a 3-day conference, Devlink, with 2 IronRuby sessions on the last day I had to do. On the second day of the conference I had a nice talk with Michael Moores, who turned out to be working with Micahel Letterle who is the first IronRuby MVP. That was the closest I’ve ever got to another IronRuby MVP :) Anyway...

IronRuby is going to Japan!

If you don’t already know, Japan is where the Ruby language was created, back in 1995. This is the origin of this great language, this is where it all started! So I’m very excited to announce that on this August, IronRuby is coming to Japan! I’m going to visit Japan in August and talk about IronRuby! I will participate in two very different conferences – TechEd Japan and RubyKaigi. TechEd Japan , the main Japanese .NET conference, will take place between August 25th to August 27th. I’m going to speak...

Working with .NET Lowercase Namespaces and Classes in IronRuby

[if you have no idea what IronRuby is, read this first] .NET has some common naming conventions that everybody uses. One of them is that namespace and class names are PascalCased . However, like in real life – rules are meant to be broken. In C#/VB.NET there is no real constraint on this convention – you can name your namespaces/classes using all lowercase or in any other way you want (and I ask, why?). Therefore, the next C# code is totally acceptable: namespace demo { class library { public void...

Learning Ruby in 15 Minutes

A problem I run into a lot when evangelizing IronRuby is the language barrier. Just like real life, people are scared when they visit a country where they do not know the local language. Same thing with C# developers who are afraid to learn other languages. However, some languages are more easier to learn than others. For example, English would be much easier to learn than Hebrew. This is exactly the case with Ruby – it is a very easy-to-learn language and the title of this post is not a scam, I...
