Arnulf P. Wiedemann

I am living in a little village in the south of Germany near Augsburg (Bavaria)

I have about 30 years of programming behind me using languages like: Algol60, Pascal, BCPL, CPM-80, C, C++, Icon, Java, Tcl and also awk, sed, sh-scripts ...

After all the years I like mostly to program in Tcl/Tk

Programming with Tcl/Tk since 1995.

Using Tcl/Tk and Itcl in commercial applications in my company mostly for client server applications (client on windows, server Linux/Unix protocol http using apache server and rivet, with oracle and mysql databases).

At home I am using Tcl/Tk Itcl for doing a lot of stuff on my computers for example a GUI for administrating my CD's in a mysql database using ID3 tags or making a selection on that database and send that to xmms for playing etc. That was before I found snackamp.

Projects:

tclurtp the low level part of tcluno [L1 ] an uno interface for OpenOffice.org written in pure Tcl.

Work in progress:

reimplementation of Itcl called itcl-ng based on tclOO, trying to make that an extension using only stubs interfaces to the Tcl core
reimplementing NexTk based on itcl-ng called ntkWidget
implementing a wrapper for OpenGL gl* functions generated mostly from GL/gl.h by a Tcl script tclGL
implementing a Tcl wrapper for GLFW [L2 ] but with multiple windows tclGLMWFW
collecting ideas for a Tcl based web framework ToW Tcl on WebFreeWay maybe it will be called TRAX (Tcl's Rapid webAccess eXtension). Later on I plan to start the implementation as a "fun" project

One evening every month you can find me at TUGM [L3 ].
