.NET 4.0 is almost here, and with it, the DLR. What does that mean for you? If you are a .NET developer, you now have several new languages at your disposal in IronPython and IronRuby that will allow you to either write code much faster or embed scripting support into your projects. If you aren’t a .NET developer, you can now leverage the Silverlight full .NET framework using a language familiar to you. We’ll also be looking at other dynamic languages–such as Boo, JavaScript/JScript, and PHP–and their interoperability with various parts of the Microsoft ecosystem.

We’ll be starting up January 5th, 2010 and meeting the first Tuesday of every month. Please join us as we explore the possibilities with .NET and dynamic languages. More info to come!
