From: Cameron Laird on 22 Jan 2010 08:52 QOTW: " ... [O]ne of the key 'innovations' of TclOO over previous OO systems is that it has a generalized system for method implementations so methods of different types aren't hacks." - Donal K. Fellows Thanks to Arjen Markus for his weekly summary of Wiki activity: The new year well on its way, and so is the Wiki ... Some tutorials - A thorough revision of the tutorial on building starkits - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/10558> - Getting started with Tcl and C#, <http://wiki.tcl.tk/9563>, but if you are serious about the combination, don't forget about Eagle (<http://wiki.tcl.tk/6580>) - A promising start of a tutorial on Wub - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/ 25540> - Here is a not-so-trivial example of TclOO's features: tracing calls to the various procedures - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/25520> Off the beaten track - Swank is Jacl's way of dealing with Swing, Java widgets. Some nice results on an equivalent for the canvas in <http://wiki.tcl.tk/25470> and other such pages. - Whatever becomes of it, if you want to work with Android, the software for mobile phones, not the GUI testing extension, this page has some interesting information: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/20310> - Have it your way: a dialect of Scheme (or should that be LISP?) implemented in Tcl. Anyway: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/25512> for yet another demonstration of Tcl's beloved flexibility and power. Don't let maths scare you - Mathematics is fun - even seemingly simple things can have surprising features! Draw a gingerbread man and create some order in the chaos - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/25558> - Testing whether a number is prime requires some ingenuity. At least when you want to make the test fast and practical. Here is the Miller-Rabin method in Tcl - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/5996> Only human - The venerable Tcl Advocacy page has been updated with a reference to an interesting blog ... Someone who was surprised about Tcl's capabilities - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/590> - and by the comments, apparently not the only one. 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://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/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.
