If yu also played with IronPython Studio that works in isolated mode, meaning an IDE that looks just like the normal VS and shares the core shell of it, but, still is a totally isolated IDE after all, you must have been waiting for the integrated one, and to be able to open your 15+ Projects VS Solution and then go to the File Menu to add a new IronPython Project to them :D.

Well,that’s already there few days ago, and I only found it yesterday, so, if you missed it as well, here are the links :). Those are for the both integrated and isolated modes.

• IronPython Studio Release 1.0 Page on CodePlex (Updated March 28, 2008 to include the integrated mode)
• The official IronPython Studio Integrated and Isolated Modes Announcement (VS Extensibility Team Blog)
• Important: Solution To Common Setup Problem for the Integrated Mode (By Natty Gur)
• Bonus: Few More IPy Links (By Harry Pierson)

Happy Pythonning :)

Reading the news that Ruby.NET is dead although doesn’t feel the best thing to hear, is still logical, and more explicitly it’s even "right". After all, it reminded me with the other story about the death of AJAX.NET Professional. I wrote a detailed take on that earlier (in my former blog) and although you might consider this spamming, I feel the same talk needs to be brought back into conversation, because I feel like I want to say the same things, so, I’m quoting it entirely here in this blog.

Few hours ago, Michael Schwarz, the creator of AJAX.NET Professional (A.KA. AJAXPro), the most successful AJAX framework for ASP.NET after Microsoft’s ASP.NET AJAX Framework (A.K.A., ATLAS) has stated that he’ll no longer be working on the project. Furthermore, he even recommended users to move to Microsoft’s AJAX Framework instead!! The reasons Michael mentioned why he will stop the project used by 13.3% of ASP.NET developers doing AJAX work include the fact that ASP.NET AJAX is part of ASP.NET 3.5 itself, and that he believes future innovation on the client side will be in other areas not just AJAX.
