Edit page: http://wiki.tcl.tk/edit/10305@ ----- There is nothing that beats a homemade program. Imagine software tailored to your needs, even created to your needs! Software for your doctor's office, for your lawyer's office, for your enjoyment, software for your classes if you are a teacher, software to keep track of your golf score, etc. If this is what you are looking for, well, '''you came to the right place''': there are, on this wikit, very gifted and talented programmers who can turn your dream software into a reality quickly, efficiently, if you do have the budget for it. They use Tcl/Tk which is the right tool for any job: it is a very powerful programming language that can get your program running in days if not hours. My life-long dream was to see my software ideas come to life. Well, God bless those tecklers, each and everyone of them; they have provided me with excellent software, they have put my vision into reality and '''I can only recommend their services to everyone'''. If you are interested in having some software programmed, simply post a description of your project at: [Offering TCL Jobs] or look for programmers at [Looking for TCL Jobs]. You may also post your requirements at: [Looking for TCL/TK applications to buy]. Like me, you'll be amazed at how these teclers can turn your vision into a reality and you'll get the thrill of a lifetime when you'll see the software you dreamed of for years, right on your screen! This, my friend, is one of the ultimate happy feelings! ----- I am the architect, the conceptualizer of 3 programs (programmed by others): * An editor programmed in TCL/TK (thanks to all the distinguished TCL/TK programmers who worked on it!) * An interactive natural language translator (I am still working on it; it is right now written in C for DOS; we are porting it to C for Windows; we'll use a TCL/TK editor afterwards most probably). This translator will be offered in a book; it won't have any data included. It is up to the users to enter the data. Garbage in, garbage out; the better the dictionary entries the better the translation. It will work in any pair of languages and it can be used assisted and unassisted also. I was going to enter the French to English data myself and sell it as such but it is a gigantic task and I'll pass! Of course this is not an idea that came overnight. This is an adaptation of a paper system that took me many years to develop! I am in fact the only linguist ever who was able to come up with such a system of comparison of languages. * An outliner for writing in collaboration on Internet (not a wiki!); it is written in php with a MySQL database. It has rendered me many services through the years. Thanks to the two programmers! ----- I bless the day I came across TCL/TK back in 2004 or 2005. It is an excellent language for my needs. How did I learn of it? Through 3 excellent programs: * [Will Duquette]'s wiki editor. * [Brian Theado]'s [TK Ouliner]. One of the few stand-alone outliners on the market. * [Mark Roseman]'s [ProjectForum]. These programs were all held in one simple exe files. Wow! I was really impressed! And my curiosity was piqued. I discovered [JCW]'s tcl.exe program that ''plays'' any TCL script and I thought this was a brilliant idea. Afterwards, when I saw how easy it was to program an editor in TCL/TK, and how easy it was to link to databases and to C files, I became a TCL/TK fan, an afficionado as some people call it. I still love C of course. C and TCL/TK. In which order? Well, it depends on the day! :-) ----- '''Contact me on:''' * pnb12@aol.com * AIM: pnb120 * Wiki: http://greenlightwiki.com/travelstories (thanks to the great BenKovitz). Anyone is welcome to write anecdotes, travel stories, portraits, etc. Even erotic stories! No blogs please! If there is a tool on internet that can help writers, this is it! Writing an anecdote requires skill, concision, precise vocabulary. This is an excellent way to prepare your autobiography also. * Also check out: http://greenlightwiki.com for great subjects: heuristics, improvisation, advice for better living, etc. Greenlight Wiki is hosted by the great Ben Kovitz eho has written a great piece of software in Python. ----- This wiki is a rock. Why? For a simple reason: it has been built on a solid and simple principle (no personal comments are allowed) and it will last forever... ----- '''Links''' * [Looking for a TCL Programmer] Older/duplicate information can be found at [http://mini.net/tclrevs/10305] -[jcw] * [Basic TCL Programs] * [How to compile a tcl script into an exe program] * [Showcasing TCL Programs] * [Tearoff] * [The Backspace problem] * [A wiki running locally with a browser and a server] * [TCL benchmarks] * [A method of classification for Require for help items] * [The legal and ethical aspects of TCL/TK] * [TCL/TK Coders' Coop] * [Course Forum] * [The refactoring of the Ask and it shall be given pages] * [How did you discover TCL/TK] * [The best database that goes with TCL/TK] * [Looking for TCL/TK applications to buy] * [TCL/TK applications for sale] * [Why is a homemade database the best database?] * [Anyone interested in doing a comma delimited database?] ----- [Category Person]
