Tcl/Tk - radically simple:

The coding strategy used for implementing software applications is to lay out everything preferable in the Tcl/Tk language!

• Coded from the bottom up with extremely simple code blocks and functions, where the interface is thoroughly documented.
• My goal is to be maximally explicit, and unlike a good mathematics textbook, unchallenging to the intellect. I'd rather devote brain energy to the functionality of the application than to its implementation in code.
• In fact, one goal of recording code snippets as I go along is to refine code into a compact little set of programming idioms that can be used to automatically generate application code with a given functionality.
• Why does Tcl/Tk seem so promising at least for me? Because it's radically simple, bug free and operating system independent.

TclOO:

• A Scrolled Widget implemented with TclOO
• A TclOO tablelist template
• A TclOO megawidget based on tablelist (tabelistbrowser)
• A TclOO megawidget based on tablelist - extended (XTableList)
• A TclOO Tkhtml 3.0 megawidget - example of how to render html+css
• A TclOO megawidget based on ttk::scale implementing -resolution option (xscale)
• accordion - yet another TclOO implementation
• breadcrumbs widget - a tiny widget implementation using TclOO
• A Screenshot Widget implemented with TclOO

Current Tcl Projects (as of Oct 2016):

• BWidget modified to take advantage of ttk - see here: [L1 ]
• HelpViewer - based on Tkhtml2.0 - could not manage to compile sources on OSX though...
• HelpViewer - based on Tkhtml3.0 - use Tkhtml3.0 binaries from ActiveState!
• Markdown2Go - utility application for win and mac, which let's you instantly convert markdown to html

Contributions made for this wiki so far:

• A tcllib based smtp mailer package
• tbs - a tcl/tk build system - although I would like to propose to use the kbs build system!
• Using Gimp's script-fu to convert images into a different format
• BWidget example: Drag and Drop Demo - How to register Buttons for D'nD
• savedefault - save settings inbetween program runs
• HowTo open PDF with Adobe Acrobat
• getfileordirectory dialog - implements a drag&drop enabled file or directory selection dialog (GUI)
• rframe - yet another decorated frame widget - utility package
• tablelist with vertical header/label text - text2rotatedimage - utility package
• tablelist 6.0 - yet another header cellconfigure example
• Drawer Example - sashmanager.tcl package added
• STLViewer - a first approach for a wapp-lication
• Another font chooser dialog - based on tablelist

I really like (*)starkits:

• Executing programs which are shipped within starpacks
• cross-building a starkit - with precompiled kit enabled binaries

Ttk (tile) related:

• scopebutton - a small tile exercise, requires tile >= 0.8.
• dynnotebook - a notebook megawidget based on BWidget Notebook with dynamic tab management
• tile themes - base64 encoded - an approach for unified tile themes
• Create base64 encoded images - CreateImageLib.tcl simplified version

twapi + COM:

• catcom - a rudimentary COM interface for CatiaV5 based on twapi
