Hi, my name is Hase, and I know everything :-)

Well, except for Tcl, which someone recommended to me, and that's why I'm here - looking for a good introduction, tutorials etc.

I'm going to comment and rate the pages as I go. From a newbie-perspective, that is.

Pages I have found so far:

• http://tcl.tk/ - nice domain, easy to remember
• http://wiki.tcl.tk/ - Startpage of wiki - Why is there no date on news-items like "Tcl/Tk 8.6.1 Released" ?

#

• Binary Distributions
• Getting Tcl/Tk - "for source distributions" --> no introduction, no advice about what to get
• Getting Started - "most popular binary distributions" but page has only a few links
• Batteries Included - Wishlist -> useless for newbies
• Installing Tcl - Binary installs just for Ubuntu and iPaq ?

-

• An Introduction to Tcl Scripting - Tutorial: "Tcl/Tk Tutorial, Part II: Language Overview" --> where is part I ?
• Beginning Tcl
  • beginner

jorge: depending on what your background is (if you are new to programming, or just new to Tcl) a different tutorial style/content may be better, but I recommend:

PYK 2014-09-12: Hase, welcome, and thank you for taking notes from your perspective as you go! This is helpful to people who are working to organize the wiki to make it more useful to beginners. You might want to join the Tcl Chatroom, where people hang out all day discussing Tcl and helping beginners. Feel free to dive in and edit wiki pages whenever you think you can improve one. It's a great way to get more feedback from the community, and helps to keep things up-to-date.
