Kevin Walzer again releases a valuable Tk-Cocoa package; this
time, it is 'tclservices':

Thanks to Arjen Markus for his approximately-weekly summary of Wiki
activity:
Just one more week to the European Tclers' Meeting ... Hm, I said the
same thing last year. But it is - again - true!

Techniques, useful, arcane or both
- Regular expressions can be powerful tools. Just how powerful? Check
out an obscure capability due to back references ... recognising
prime
numbers! <http://wiki.tcl.tk/461>

- Want a list of all the include files a C source depends on
(directly
or indirectly)? No problem, use TclRAL to get that transitive
closure.
<http://wiki.tcl.tk/18203>

- Experimenting with a compiler infrastructure ... LLVM nicely
wrapped
for use via Tcl - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/26308>

- Manipulating SVG (scalable vector graphics) files is a piece of
cake
as Tcl provides all the right tools - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/25998>

- Selecting numbers from a range ... We have the scale widget of
course,
but a dial or a wheel is a nice tool for that sort of selections
too.
Here are some possibilities:
<http://wiki.tcl.tk/26357> and <http://wiki.tcl.tk/17065>

The human aspect
- There has been a style guide for the layout of Tcl programs for
many
years. Though mainly meant for the core itself, you may find its
ideas useful for your own code - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/708>

- Tloona is just one of the many IDEs available for Tcl. Check it
out - it includes support for Itcl. <http://wiki.tcl.tk/17079>

- If you work on OS X, you may find this FAQ on the various
aspects of Aqua very useful - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/12987>


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.
