- 45. IronPython Recommended Reading I recommend technical books typically based on their reference value, as I usually get bored within the first few sentences and end up turning them into references rather than reading through them. This book, however, was one that I read cover-to-cover...Overall, I would recommend IronPython in Action for anyone wanting to learn IronPython. – Sarah Dutkiewicz The Coding Geekette (reviewed for Manning Publications) http://www.ironpythoninaction.com
