Introduction

Jython brings the power of the Python language to the JVM. It provides Java developers the ability to write productive and dynamic code using an elegant syntax. Likewise, it allows Python developers to harness the plethora of useful Java libraries and APIs that the JVM has to offer. We wrote this book in an effort to provide a complete guide for developers from both parties. Whether you are a seasoned Java developer looking to add a mature dynamic language to your arsenal, or a connoisseur of the Python language, this book provides useful information in an easy-to-read fashion, which will help you become a professional Jython developer.

This book is organized so that each chapter is encapsulated as its own entity and can be read separately ...
