What client language/toolkits are you using for iControl development?

Hi everyone, I was just wondering what client languages/toolkits you all are using for building your iControl apps. Here's my main list in order of the frequency I use them.

 

 

  • PowerShell -> iControl Cmdlets
  • C/.Net -> iControl Assembly
  • Perl -> SOAP::Lite
  • Java -> iControl Library for Java (Apache Axis based)

Take a second if you would and reply to this thread and let's see how big a list we can come up with.

    @Chris W. Yes, any 2.x from 2.4 up will work just fine.

    All Powershell iControl cmdlets here, coming from a non-dev SysAdmin they're a great help.

    Java with the pregenerated code (it was difficult to find the libraries)

    Hi,

     

    I use the following two variants:

     

    • C/.Net -> iControl Assembly (with a nice GUI interface)
    • Perl -> SOAP::Lite (for small command line scripts)

    Ciao Stefan :)

    I'm familiar with Perl too. But Java is convenient for me because I could find API samples and documents for java easily.

    C/.Net -> iControl Assembly

     

    A few years ago I switched to C at your suggestion, because I was struggling with VB and jagged arrays. Have been a happy camper ever since. Thanks again!
