QOTW: "After years using Tcl I still get surprised how other
languages'
features can easily be reproduced here." - silas


Presentation proposals are all in; now it's time to
register for the upcoming Tcl/Tk Conference:
http://www.tcl.tk/community/tcl2010/

Kevin Walzer shares the abundance of Mac-based virtue in which
he dwells with his release of Tclapplescript 2.0 and
Cocoaprint 1.0, as well as 64-bit tclAE:

Tcl made "A GPS Data Display" easy to write, according to
Peter Hiscock:

Thanks to Arjen Markus for his mostly-weekly Wiki reports:
Today, incidentally "world left-handed people's day", and given the
weather
in his part of the world, a day that also marks a definite end to the
summer, your chronicler picks up the Wiki summaries again ...

Abundancy
- Given the number of Tcl packages that deal with the problem,
the communication between two programs on different machines
keeps many people occupied - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/1077>

- Lovely those geological era ... And now there is this small program
to put them all in their place - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/26829>

Ability
- TclOO may be a bare-bones object-oriented part of Tcl, look
at what things are possible, with just a bit of magic:
<http://wiki.tcl.tk/21595>

- A program that learns? Yes, it is not that hard to
understand. This page contains the code and some sample
sessions - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/19894>

Activity
- Just a small experiment by yours truly, this program, but it
was inspired by an article on SVG and JavaScript ... Have
a look at both - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/26829>

- A nice little drawing tool, nothing fancy, but you can
make pretty pictures ... <http://wiki.tcl.tk/15386>


Everything Tcl-related you want is probably one or two clicks away in
these
pages:
The "Welcome to comp.lang.tcl" message by Andreas Kupries
http://www.purl.org/net/tcl-welcome
comp.lang.tcl is a crucial resource for Tcl practitioners.
An interesting perspective on its traffic appears at
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.tcl/about

The Tcl Developer Site is Tcl's "home base".
http://www.tcl.tk

Larry Virden maintains a comp.lang.tcl FAQ launcher.
http://www.purl.org/NET/Tcl-FAQ/

Tcl Developer Xchange sponsor, ActiveState, keeps info to
convince your boss Tcl is a good thing
http://www.tcl.tk/scripting/

The Tcl'ers Wiki is a huge, dynamic, collaboratively edited
repository
of documentation, examples, tutorials and pontifications on all
things
Tcl.
http://wiki.tcl.tk/0
For the ideal overview of the topics about Tcl most likely to
interest a newcomer, see "Arts and Crafts ..."
http://wiki.tcl.tk/969
There's also a high-quality Wikibook on Tcl:
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Programming:Tcl

ActiveState maintains binaries distribution and development tools
http://www.activestate.com/Tcl
along with a Cookbook of Tcl recipes
http://code.activestate.com/recipes/langs/tcl/

"La Gazette du Técleux" is an important monthly publication.
http://wfr.tcl.tk/1159

deli.cio.us presents an intriguing approach to reference
commentary.
It already aggregates quite a bit of Tcl intelligence.
http://del.icio.us/tag/tcl

Cameron Laird tracks several Tcl/Tk references of interest (but
needs to validate many of the links).
http://phaseit.net/claird/comp.lang.tcl/

Years ago, Cetus Links maintained a Tcl/Tk page with verified links
http://www.cetus-links.org/oo_tcl_tk.html

"Yahoo! Groups" archives comp.lang.tcl.announce posts--even
though clta itself is dormant.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/tcl_announce/

We're working on more useful archives of past installments. Dave
Williams generously is building up
http://www.bacomatic.org/~dw/comp/tclurl/index.htm
and of course Google gives us
http://groups.google.com/groups?oi=djq&as_q=+Tcl-URL&as_ugroup=comp.lang.tcl

Suggestions/corrections for next week's posting are always welcome.
