Tcl Internet Resources

There are a variety of Internet resources available for exploring Tcl/Tk further:

Tcl Developer’s Xchange

The “front page” for Tcl/Tk. This site features announcements of new Tcl/Tk releases, conference information, documentation, and Tcl/Tk advocacy information.

Tcler’s Wiki

A collaboratively-edited collection of Tcl wisdom, tips, and code samples. Although the loose structure can make it a bit difficult at times to locate information, it is nonetheless a treasure trove of Tcl information.

comp.lang.tcl

The Usenet newsgroup for the Tcl language. Very active, often with over 100 posts a day. Many experienced Tcl programmers are regular contributors, readily answering questions and solving problems. If you don’t have a Usenet newsreader configured on your system, you can access the groups through a web portal such as Google Groups.

The Tcl URL

A weekly newsletter that summarizes the week’s key discussions on comp.lang.tcl. The new edition of the newsletter is released each Monday.

TkDocs

Mark Roseman’s site containing a wealth of practical information on building graphical user interfaces with Tk. In addition to the Tcl language bindings for Tk, Mark shows how to use Tk with Perl and Python as well.

ActiveState Programmer Network (ASPN) Tcl Resources

ActiveState’s ASPN provides information on technologies supported by ActiveState, including Tcl. From this site, you can also freely download ActiveTcl, ActiveState’s binary build of Tcl and several popular Tcl extensions.

Tcl SourceForge Project

The source code repository for Tcl/Tk and many extensions.
