Silverlight for Windows Phone (beta). One of the programming frameworks for WP7, this one is better suited for building event-driven " application"-style apps.
XNA Game Studio for Windows Phone (beta). The other programming framework for WP7, this game loop-driven framework is better suited for game development. It's based on XNA Game Studio, which lets you build games for Xbox 360 and Windows.

…and contains a number of bug fixes and performance improvements. It also now requires .NET 4.0 or Silverlight 4; you will need to build from source for down-level frameworks. The installer now includes Visual Studio support for IronPython, rather than being a separate installer, and the source-code for the tools has been open-sourced!

…publishers, so we provide a set of code in Flash, a set of code in HTML 5, and more recently, a Silverlight front end. It's completely multi-platform; I run it on my Mac, our developers sometimes develop on Windows, and production is based on Linux. The code itself is a set of extensions on top of Apache.
Scott: Did you choose PHP for the presentation layer just because you wanted your customers to be able to easily modify it?
Shay: Absolutely, and PHP is also the back …
Aloha!
The Aloha on Rails presentation videos are now available in HTML5 or Flash. This is an excellent option for those who are unable to install Silverlight.
A big mahalo to Panopto and ThinkTech Hawaii for making these videos possible.

See my previous post about using IronRuby to test C# Silverlight applications ; it's still relevant though it's a fairly old post.

IronRuby and IronPython are built on-top of the Dynamic Language Runtime , which is comprised of many parts, one of which being a .NET Hosting API , allowing you to embed a scripting language in any .NET app.

…better to avoid scaling on the client since it looks better to scale only once during encoding.
Hence, I'm more than a little disappointed by the DynamicStream class, and I'm stuck wondering how the heck I'm going to pull the useful bits out of this 1049 line file in order to integrate them into JW Player. Ugh, painful.
Oh, did I mention Silverlight takes care of bitrate switching entirely automatically? Double ugh.
We recently presented a walkthrough of using IronRuby and Silverlight to get Ruby in the Web browser and did an interview with IronRuby developer Jimmy Schementi so we're not going to go into detail here - check out those posts for more in-depth IronRuby knowledge.

That's it! It's very simple to get started with IronRuby in Silverlight, especially versus using ActionScript in Flash, or even the other languages like C# or VB.NET in Silverlight. Let me briefly explain what is going on behind the scenes to make IronRuby work so transparently with Silverlight.
The first script-tag runs dlr-<releasedate>.js which sets up a hidden Silverlight control on the page to download IronRuby and run any Ruby script-tags. The IronRuby…
