Dr. Dobb's Tcl-URL!
QOTW: "Wow. That's easy. I should end this fear I have of COM and just jump in." David Gravereaux, on tcom <URL: http://wiki.tcl.tk/tcom > "All AOLServer threads are constantly fiddling around with the heap, so any chance of memory locality is probably hopeless." Jim Wilcoxson POTW: "Tkgeomap is a set of geography and cartography extensions to the Tcl/Tk scripting language." http://www.tkgeomap.org/ Will there ever be a Tcl hackathon? http://groups.google.com/groups?th=6ce984f36166968e Beep! Beep! Jeff Hobbs explains little-known facts about (Unixoid) X service, even to multiple simultaneous displays, and its relation to ringing the bell. http://groups.google.com/groups?frame=left&th=31a6f957dee236e1 Perl and Tcl can co-operate. Slaven Rezic and Jean-Luc Fontaine lead the way. http://groups.google.com/groups?frame=right&th=70b0d9f7c2f2718 Thanks to Arjen Markus for help summarizing Wiki activity: A busy week for the Wiki and hence for your chronicler too. Let us organise the pages in categories again. Games and fun applications: - The classical problem of eight queens is solved at <http://wiki.tcl.tk/8838> - Two fun applications: producing a rain storm <http://wiki.tcl.tk/8835> and letting marbles fall down <http://wiki.tcl.tk/8825> - A nice set of cards and several card games: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/8803> provides your starting point. Useful tools: - The UNIX utility ctags normally does not recognise Tcl code - but there is a solution, <http://wiki.tcl.tk/2974> - in fact not only for "vi/vim" but for other editors as well. - Translating words from one language into another - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/8826> shows how easy it is with Tcl (and a bunch of dictionaries of course) - BLT is an outstanding package for sophisticated graphics in Tcl/Tk, just as an example: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/3551> shows how to create a date/time axis. - TclControl is an ActiveX control that exposes Tcl and Tk to such programs as Internet Explorer, <http://wiki.tcl.tk/944>. Gary Lee has provided a patched version so that it works just like the Tcl Plugin. Techniques: - Richard Suchenwirth explores the basics of cryptography - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/8836> - Tail call recursion revisited: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/1348> - How about the virtual file system that is at the heart of Tclkit? It is explained and discussed at <http://wiki.tcl.tk/2138> The birth of a fairy tale: - Several people have contributed to this page: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/8822> Let us hope for a happy end :) Everything 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 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/ The Tcl Developer Xchange is a highly organized resource center of documents and software with provisions for individuals to maintain references to their own software: http://www.tcl.tk/resource/ The TDX sponsor, ActiveState, also 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 ActiveState maintains binaries distribution and development tools http://www.activestate.com/Tcl along with a Cookbook of Tcl recipes http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Tcl Cameron Laird tracks several Tcl/Tk references of interest http://phaseit.net/claird/comp.lang.tcl/ Cetus Links maintains a Tcl/Tk page with verified links http://www.cetus-links.org/oo_tcl_tk.html Google Groups archives comp.lang.tcl.announce posts http://groups.yahoo.com/group/tcl_announce/ Previous - (U)se the (R)esource, (L)uke! - messages are listed here: http://www.ddj.com/topics/tclurl/ An alternative is http://groups.google.com/groups?oi=3Ddjq&as_q=3D+Tcl-URL!&as_ugroup=3Dcom= p.lang.tcl Suggestions/corrections for next week's posting are always welcome.
