Version 56 of Sarnold

Alias for Stephane ARNOLD (french person).

Pages here on the Tcler's wiki:

Hanoi Towers - an algorithmic problem about recursivity, which happens to be a puzzle game.
Parametric curves drawing - one might say Parametric curves plotting, plotting z(t)=x(t)+iy(t).
foriter - a loop command : an idea taken to Python's for i in range() syntax.
Counting comments in a source, for Tcl code only.
Reformatting Tcl code indentation (beautifying code)
Basique - OO-like namespaces

Talking of the language:

Fun with Tcl : advocacy on the multiple ways to develop and think in Tcl, especially by using different styles of programming adapted to tasks.
Commenting and obfuscating
Secure by design

Object-orientation is my obsession :)

XOWidget is a megawidget framework for XOTcl.
Byticle : thoughts of new idioms for programming languages.
Itins : emulate Snit with the power of [Incr Tcl]
Xoins : emulate Snit with the power of XOTcl

Some sysadmin tools, for which I never wanted to learn Perl:

tfu is a tool to synchronize two local directories
tddiff is a directory comparison tool
Tcl File Renamer renames with patterns, powerful but dangerous
autosave makes backups of your favorite files (to be used in a cron task)

External links

On my home page [L1 ]:

A french translation of the great Tcl tutorial at http://www.tcl.tk [L2 ]
Tcl in Javascript: A Javascript (browser-based) implementation of Tcl, with only the basic functionalities.
A modified version of Mancala, requires Lua 5.1 (the algorithm to play against the computer is written in Lua)
Another Javascript project: Jetcl, a command language [L3 ]

Jetcl is not a complete programming language, but rather like JSON/XML for data parsing by Web 2.0 applications. The fact is, it is trivial to write a servlet which produces Jetcl code as output, since it does not require complex nested constructions. It does not force the use of double-quotes for strings, like Tcl, but it has no variables.

I am building (2008-03-30) a new home page at http://sarnold.e3b.org/ , with a printable version of the french tutorial.

On Sourceforge:

Tcl-Pkg is a client to browse Tcl-related software, and to download extensions and libraries.
math::bigfloat is part of tcllib
tsreplace (Tcl Star Replace), file tool GUI to search and replace with regexps in pure Tcl. Now part of Tclapps.

A similar French page can be found on the French Tcl Wiki [L4 ] but is no longer updated.

My main skills are : C/UNIX, Web technologies with Java (Tomcat) and of course Tcl. since 2003. I was amazed by the simplicity of the language when I looked at TkCvs source. I also have set up some web sites with the LAMP stack (with Wordpress, Drupal and SPIP).
