PowerSlim on codeplex

We have lanched the PowerSlim project on codeplex. Q: Why CodePlex? Why not GitHub or LaunchPad? A: This project is intended to bring the Microsoft Windows PowerShell scripting language to the acceptance testing world. The current implementation is built on top of IronPython2.6. So it looks like the all ways lead us to Microsoft 🙂

HOWTO SETUP PowerSlim Step by Step

This instruction is depricated. Use http://vlasenko.org/2011/01/31/how-to-start-with-powerslim/ instead. There is the setup package available from the powerSlim 0.2. It will install all you need (Fitnesse, IronPython, WaferSlim, PowerSlim) to the C:\PowerSlim folder. Use it to get the idea how to setup PowerSlim. Later you can use your own installation of the Fitnesse and/or IronPython. Please be sure

Why Iron?

IronPython is an implementation of the Python programming language, targeting the .NET Framework and Mono, created by Jim Hugunin. Today Jim on his session “Deep Dive: Dynamic Languages in Microsoft .NET” has explained the Iron nature. It is the acronim from the “Implementation running on .Net”.
