Lan, Thanks fo doing this. Neil has me about tapped out as far as ready-to-go lectures. I don't know if you will cover this or not, but I'm interested in how to either add 3rd-party widgets or create new widgets for the UI part. After seeing your presentation using VisualTCL I was intrigued but I wanted some different widgets and couldn't figure out out to add/create them. I have the same problem working with any of the GUI designers like Glade that just wrap one of the GUI toolkits like GTK or QT.
