Version 4 of Tcl/Tk/Talks

Updated 2009-04-08 01:49:07 by wws

This is a page for me to outline a 45 minute talk I am giving this summer on Tcl/Tk

Talk Overview

• 45 minutes total
• Sophisticated audience
• Unix users
• Skeptical about Tcl/Tk

Things does great

• GUI
• Event loop (file + GUI)
• Deferred evaluation
• Template with subst

Complaints

• Syntax is weird: non-Algol
• Slow
• Syntax is weird: names/ values versus variables

Demos

• Hello World button, counting buttons
• fifo/ barcode event scanner thing
• tksed
• postgresql over ssh

Funny Slides

• Not funny

Notes for using this later

• All user groups need speakers
• Feel free to update, use, comment on successes and failures, etc
