Python meets Flash

Python is an easy to learn, powerful programming language. It has efficient high-level data structures and a simple but effective approach to object-oriented programming. Python’s elegant syntax and dynamic typing, together with its interpreted nature, make it an ideal language for scripting and rapid application development in many areas on most platforms.

This session will show you how Python can extend your Flash applications, and how the Flash Platform is the ideal candidate to add graphical user interface to your Python applications.

In this session you can expect code examples and tips that show how easy it is to combine these runtimes to create killer applications.
