- The Tcl/Tk Track was cancelled at the upcoming O'Reilly Open Source Software Convention (see DN639417780)
- For you Tcl'ers on the (b)leading edge, here is an update and discussion on up and coming releases of Tcl and Tk (see DN637050568)
- And just when you thought the WWW couldn't get any better, Albert XinJiang invents a new way to use Expect to maintain web server processes between HTML form interactions (see DN639601749)
- How do you write simple client server programs in Tcl? Cameron Laird's advice is to remember that Tcl sockets are easy. Volker Hetzer provided a brief example (see DN639918217) Joel Saunier posted a little more detailed code (see DN639921395) and Mo DeJong suggested his "easysocket" package (see DN561674996)
- As a follow up on last week's discussion about "large" Tcl applications, we discussed how "fast" Tcl and Tk are. De Clarke described her real-time system monitoring application which processes up to hundreds of asynchronous events per second. Wow! (see DN640160310)
- George Howlett gives a lucid description of the relationship between Tk widgets and their bindings. If you don't know about bindtags, you should read up on this powerful feature (see DN640438431)
- Tix, an extension with several very nice Tk Widgets, has moved to http://tix.sourceforge.net/ (see DN640588124) and you can get it to build with Tcl/Tk 8.3 like this: (see DN640880167)
And for the winner for "Quote of the Week", Les Cargill answered a critic who believes that Tcl was not a good choice for large programs: If you do it right, the programs aren't very large. That's part of the thing.
