Subject: Tcl-URL! - weekly Tcl news and links (Apr 10)

pack everything from the outside in." - Joe English

    Dynamic Languages are welcome in Cyprus:

Thanks to Arjen Markus for his weekly summary of Wiki action:
  Demonstrations and small applications that are ready for use.
  And some discussions and explanations. All on our beloved Wiki!

  Community topics
  - The history and architecture of the Tclers' Wiki explained:
    <http://wiki.tcl.tk/20791>

  - You may have heard of the Tcl Association ... Well, it is not
    a secret society: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/17045> (We have another
    page for that - but that is confidential of course)

  - And join it if you can: the 15th Conference on Tcl wil be held
    in October - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/20978>

  Objects and subjects
  - Poet is one of the many object-oriented extensions that Tcl
    enjoys. The paper is illuminating. <http://wiki.tcl.tk/19918>

  - TclOO is a low-level extension meant to make life easier for
    such extensions as Poet. Learn more at: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/18152>

  Demos and apps
  - Unzip your file/archive and print the contents:
    <http://wiki.tcl.tk/7433> demonstrates the use of the vfs::zip package

  - Learn Chinese with flash cards (or see how you can use flash cards
    for your own purpose): <http://wiki.tcl.tk/20236>

  - Add a smooth blinking gadget to your application to indicate
    (network) activity: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/11801>

  - This French Wiki page shows a way to handle SMS text messages on a
    small device. No need for megabytes of libraries, just a small Tcl
    script will do, though <http://wfr.wiki.fr/1581> could be improved.

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/

    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
    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.  In the
meantime, an alternative is
  http://groups.google.com/groups?oi=djq&as_q=+Tcl-URL&as_ugroup=comp.l...
