This was really nice..Cn we have more of them.Digging deep into jython

That was great!

Good job, nice presentation. Thank you.

jython looks interesting. good show!

Hi, You did a great job. You are helping many beginners out there to learn new technologies.Your effort is invaluable.

great brief introduction to jython. I find the greatest difficulty in compiling and running multiple jython programs and compiling to a portable jar file. That is where the system often seems weakest.

thanks

Jan

Thanks David,

Very instructional. Still not quite sure why I'd want to use an extra layer, on top of Python, which is already OS independent (apart from being able to use Java modules, for which I am sure for most there are native Python equivalents (though I don't know Java, so I can't really comment on that).

It would be nice to see what can be done in Jython, that can't be done in just Python.

Your video was really good to get the gist of Jython though! Thanks for that!

Jan.


30. anonymous Tue, 23 Jun 2009 07:31

Thanks, good introduction. Looking forward for more.


29. Kyran Dale Wed, 17 Jun 2009 17:11

nicely done. Just catching up on some learning.


28. Carl Sun, 14 Jun 2009 09:30

This was a very nice video illustrating the power of Java with the help of the very versatile Python language. Thanx


27. anonymous Tue, 19 May 2009 10:22

cool good one!


26. anonymous Thu, 14 May 2009 03:01

Nice start, very impressive and easy to understand!


25. emiloud Fri, 10 Apr 2009 14:12

Thanks a lot.

Now jython is clear to me.


24. Andriy Thu, 02 Apr 2009 08:54

Useful introduction! Thank you!


23. Andriy Thu, 02 Apr 2009 08:53

Useful introduction! Thank you!


21. jeff m Thu, 29 Jan 2009 15:59

Well done and informative. Makes you wonder why everyone doesn't ditch Java coding and use the way easier Python language and the Java JVM.


20. anonymous Wed, 28 Jan 2009 22:24

Well done David!


19. David Fung Fri, 18 Jul 2008 00:56

Hi Ian,

Thanks for the posting. 15 months have passed since the jython first impression, guess it is about time to post another one :) and it would be great if more authors are producing jython videos!

David


18. Ian Ozsvald Thu, 17 Jul 2008 11:33

Hi David. I know it has been a long time coming but I've got a post about your video into the Jython usergroup now:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=4dab5f760807170814k43ef98fdlf350cacb8dcba1f0%40mail.gmail.com&forum_name=jython-users

It looks like I got filtered twice by sourceforge, I was able to speak to Frank Wierzbicki and he forwarded my original mail (from back in December!) into the group (thanks Frank!).

I hope it'll bring you some more feedback. I note that Jython2.5 is now being tested, if you (or anyone else?) would like to make a demo video, it would be hugely appreciated.

Cheers,

Ian (co-founder)


17. anonymous Thu, 03 Jul 2008 09:40

hi David,

Can you help me about how can I add jdom.jar library into class path ? Because this is missing in the classpath on the jython.bat script. I am getting the following error

ImportError: no module named jdom

Plz help me to out from this. Fast rply will be most appreciable.

thanks,

Anil Soni


16. RyanHunter Tue, 27 May 2008 12:04

Excellent video David. Very easy to understand and was interesting. Please make more.

I'm especially interested in seeing Swing applications or NetBeans Matisse applications using JPython for the logic.


15. anonymous Wed, 02 Apr 2008 06:41

Very usefull for all standards of ppl

Review of Jython - First Impression

yo

I'm a python user at the origins

but I could follow along along with a console on top of IE on this computer... so I could see the same results as your video in time which is cool !

Jonathan


13. anonymous Sat, 26 Jan 2008 05:29

Great vieo. Now I know why I should use python or Jython and not java.


12. Marcin Gil Sun, 13 Jan 2008 14:59

Thank you. Good to see basic things.


11. anonymous Sat, 12 Jan 2008 13:34

Thanks David,

Great video, very simple and clear me as newbee.

E.


10. Ian Ozsvald Fri, 11 Jan 2008 09:33

Hi David, just a quick comment to say that I've added new tags to your video: Python, Jython, Java. These should help people who are browsing the index.

Ian.

Educating the Open-source Community With Showmedo

Although as important as the software it supports, education and documentation are relatively neglected in the Open-source world. Coders love to code, and explaining how best to use or improve the software tends to be deferred or even sidelined.

At Showmedo we believe the community can play a vital role here and also say thanks for the tools and software that make our lives easier. If you have a piece of software you love or a programming langugage you are enthusiastic about, why not make a screencast showing others how to use it? All the stuff you wish you'd been told, the tips, tricks, insights that would have saved you time and frustration.

Screencasting is easier than you think, and we're happy to help you. You can emailus for advice or just use some of the how-to screencasts on the site. This screencasting learning-pathis a good place to start.

Kudos and Thanks for David

Self-modifying code

I really enjoyed this tutorial. The use of the regular expression to modify the code is absolute genius. The power of this is not obvious at first to most people. Already I have thought of simple examples. You could write a script which performs some operations, and then deletes itself. You could write a script which counts how many times it has been written.Trivial examples for sure. You could write code, which will modify itself conditionally. The possibilities here are innumerous! Thanks for this!
