This is my first post on this site and I hope there will be many more to come I’m Ivan Porto Carrero and am currently writing a book on IronRuby for Manning. I decided to use this blog to post about IronRuby so that this site can become a really useful resource for people that want to get into IronRuby.

When the beta for Silverlight 2.0 was released it got support for IronRuby. I personally think that Silverlight and IronRuby is a winning team.  But when you come from normal web development or windows forms development it does have little bit of a learning curve because of XAML.
But once you get passed that learning curve it’s a pretty sweet technology to master

There are other people that have blogged about silverlight and IronRuby before, it might be a good idea to check them out as well.

The guys in the IronPython world have a bunch of samples that were created by Michael Foord. I thought it might be interesting to port those samples to IronRuby.

Over the next couple of days I’ll post those on this site. Tomorrow we’ll start with the basics of using silverlight and IronRuby to write applications.
