I think the forums were down yesterday when I tried to reply to this thread. I looked up Iron python and was intimidated. While detailed posts about python applications in Dynamo exist here on the forums, I should have been more precise in stating there is little material on the relative merits of python in Dynamo/Revit, sort of on a strategic level versus specific examples. That kind of info would help me make choices about what approaches to try in parametric design. Furthermore, relative to the scale of the global internet, a few hundred posts here on the forums signals to me that expertise in applying python is scarce indeed. All the more reason we should try to learn it because it might become a valuable skill to certain employers in the future. For myself, as someone who is trying to learn Dynamo BIM, the smaller community also means there is few people to ask for help. (Compare here the Adobe Illustrator forums I participate in which are magnitudes bigger in size.) Of course, none of this should persuade one to stop learning Dynamo. I love to build and think Dynamo BIM is great!
