Speaker: Paul Orland Topic: Python Tools for Visual Studio (PTVS) Date: Feb-27-2014 Location: LinkedIn, Mtn. View
Python Tools for Visual Studio (PTVS) is a free, open source plugin that turns Visual Studio into a Python IDE. PTVS supports CPython as well as IronPython, and provides IDE features like Intellisense, debugging, and code-browsing for Python applications. Python can be used to create apps for Windows 8.1 and RT, and it is a first-class language for Windows Azure, the Microsoft cloud. In this talk, I will walk through several sample applications and show off some powerful PTVS features.
