Wiki summary - 10 february 2020

Difference between version 0 and 0 - Previous - Next
It has been quite a while since the previous summary. So let us not
waste any more time!

'''Community efforts'''

A new version of [Tklib] has been released! A summary of its contents
can be found in the aptly called [Tklib Contents] page and continue
from there!

The yearly meetings for Tclers have already been given a page
of their own:

    * The [Twenty-seventh Annual Tcl/Tk Conference (2020)] will be held in Houston, USA, that much is clear.
    * The [18th European Tcl/Tk Users Meeting 2020] will be in Vienna, Austria, and enough details are already known to start planning your attendance


''Documenting it all''

In this day and age, can anyone do without [A Hypertext Help System]?
Its latest incarnation is called [dgw::hyperhelp] and uses a simple
markup system.

But online help is one thing, a series of [Articles] describing not only
the "how-to" but also the "what" and "when" of various language features
is most definitely a welcome addition.

(... or a few quotations by anyone [Who says Tcl rules...], as clearly
not everyone is convinced, as a recent post on comp.lang.tcl shows.)


''To make things simple''

[Tip 556: Add oo like widgets to Tk] proposes to, well, add oo like
widgets.

A [Package Repository Server] might be a good idea - with the necessary
components also available. Especially if you also consider [How to build good packages] ...

A programming problem can often be solved in Tcl in very different ways,
an example is that of [Splitting a string on arbitrary substrings].

The collection of themes in themed widgets can always be extended, as
witnessed by the [awlight ttk theme] and the [awdark ttk theme].


''Beyond the obvious''

We are not easily limited to the ordinary computing devices, as
[A Tcl extension for FPGA compiled C function direct interaction] shows.

Or try [Undroidwish on the Raspberry Pi 3]: perhaps not for the weak of
heart, but persist!
