Version 5 of How did you discover TCL/TK

Robert Abitbol (26 May 2006) How did I discover TCL/TK? Through 3 excellent programs:

* Will Duquette's wiki editor.

* Brian Theado's TKOutline. One of the very few stand-alone outliners on the market and an excellent one at it.

* Mark Roseman's ProjectForum.

This has piqued my curiosity. Will gave a link to this site and this is how I learned of this site.

Robert Hicks I was using Perl/Tk to do some stuff and decided to see what the Tcl part of it was.

Bryan Oakley I was heavily into perl and stumbled onto perl/tk (in the perl 3 days, circa 1994). After doing GUIs in Motif, OpenLook and a host of others, Tk was a breath of fresh air. A year later I saw a job ad for a tcl/tk programming gig and talked myself into the job. Perl was great at the time but I don't miss it one bit.
