There will be an organizational meeting of a new special interest
group within the San Diego Computer Society, the San Diego Tcl/Tk
Users Group (sdtclug), on Thursday, March 15th at 7 PM in room
102 of the Mission Valley campus of the UCSD Extension. The
meeting is free and open to the public. The intent is to organize
a group interested in studying and sharing their work in the
Tcl/Tk scripting language. It is our intention to meet monthly
thereafter on the third Thursday of each month.
Tcl/Tk ("Tool Command Language/Tool Kit") is a high level
scripting language available in all operating systems including
Microsoft's, UNIX, Linux, FreeBSD, OS/2, Apple OSs, and some
hand-held devices. The language is extremely simple and easy for
beginners, yet scales well to large and complex projects.
Programs generally can be moved from one operating system to
another without any modifications. Tcl/Tk is free, open source
software and can be used and distributed without charge. Programs
written in Tcl/Tk can be licensed under any license and sold for
profit without violating the Tcl/Tk license.
The Tcl/Tk Took Kit is a simplified graphics and windowing
package that allows even beginners to begin programming
sophisticated windowing applications almost immediately. The Tk
has proved so powerful that it has been adapted to many other
languages, but remains simplest and most advanced in Tcl/Tk.
Tcl/Tk is easily extensible and many packages have been written
tying it in with such things SQL data bases, ODBC in general,
computer video packages, serial and USB port functions and
monitoring, and a wide variety of hardware peripherals.
Tcl/Tk is frequently used to write GUI "wrappers" that utilize
existing programs and utilities either to make them work in
concert or to give them a more user friendly interface. This can
be done even if the original source code of the program is
unavailable or lost.
At our monthly meetings we hope to:
- discuss beginning and advanced topics
- demonstrate Tcl/Tk projects of our own
- support each other's code and skills with help and advice
- invite vendors of Tcl/Tk products and software
- schmooze and have some fun
We invite you all to come and to pass this along to anyone you
think might be interested.
