DESCRIPTION:
Hard to read I really wanted to like this book, but it's quite hard First chapter looked promising, second was little bit 'dry' but still OK. Unfortunately since then, more chapters I read, more frustration I felt.Organization of the book is bad. Author too often jumps from one topic to another without sufficient explanation. Too many times I read something like 'this concept will be explained in later (or was in previous) chapter' - without giving at least basic idea behind it. Extremly important concepts like late binding is explained in 3 consecutive chapters. Unfortunately in every chapter there is only small part of explanation and i. Wrong approach to explaining the DLR I found the early chapters, which focus on making the reader familiar with the DLR, a bit lacking.The DLR is a complex that serves in a variety of roles. It is by no means an easy task to explain it. The author decided to make sure that the reader can play around with working DLR code right from the very beginning. He thus presents snippet after snippet of Code that interacts with the DLR in some way, explaining this details and that. Unfortunately, little of this makes sense, because the reader at that point has not seen "the bigger picture".Rather, the author presents a tiny bit of C# code using the 'dynamic' keyword, point. Plenty of information for compiler developers This is really good book revealing internals of DLR and targeted for the special audience. The reviews from previous owners concerns with too complicated structure of the book or high price, but the subject itself is complex hence the structure of the book and it's decently priced for the amount of information it contains. If you want just to get a glimpse of how DLR works, look for intro book on LINQ, which are much cheaper. If you need to build a compiler atop of DLR, this book is for you.

With the basics out of the way, the book then details the various ways you can leverage the DLR in the design and architecture of your software applications. Microsoft’s Dynamic Language Runtime (DLR) is a platform for running dynamic languages such as Ruby and Python on an equal footing with compiled languages such as C#. Furthermore, the runtime is the foundation for many useful software design and architecture techniques you can apply as you develop your .NET applications. You’ll learn about runtime code generation, which lets you avoid much of the boilerplate code typical in layered business applications. You’ll see how to mix and match objects and functions from compiled and dynamic languages, so you can write code in the language of your choice while taking advantage of libraries written in other languages. You will learn the core DLR components such as LINQ expressions, call sites, binders, and dynamic objects—and how they work together to achieve language interoperability. You’ll see practical examples of using the DLR to build domain-specific lan
