I work for San Diego State University in Business Information Systems. My previous position was with Computer Sciences Corp (CSC), as a Consultant/Programmer/analyst.

I have been using TCL/TK for personal use since 1995, heavily the last 6 or seven years. I was interested in developing editors and tools for software development for my own use.

I may occasionally be seen listening in the chat area as AEC.

I'll post more here as time permits.


After 5 years of retirement I have decided I have time to describe my style and method of developing with tcl. My development environment consists of ezdit as my ide. Within ezdit I use a recent version of tclkit as my runtime for testing. My target is generally to develop a my application for use in a starpack so the first file is "main.tcl". Within my main, especially during development, I source a custom kitten which contains every package I have developed or has been made available by Activestate or on this wiki that I have found useful in the past. More later.
