This schold tickle your fancy.

As I mentioned I should have the coverage for the December issue up in just a few days. SO when I checked my email I noticed that the material was available for down load. The December issue also features a catalog of gifts which any Linux fan would appreciate.

The language of the month covers Tcl/Tk and Tcl is properly pronounced as tickle.
This language is noted for the ease with which it allows graphics to be displayed.
The text introduces you to the language and the demo shows just a little of the power of the language.

Enjoy.

Three languages to be thankful for

The month of November was over before i realized that I had not posted the coverage of the languages published in the November issue of the magazine.
I received my copy of the magazine for December and noted that the language was
Tcl/Tk and I wondered what had happened to the article I wrote on Q,R.S?

So I checked my blog and learned that I last posted the coverage of Pascal in October. Perhaps I was thinking that had she lived Nov 10 would have been her 64th birthday. Or I would be thinking of the Thanksgiving Holidays ahead.

But most of all I was kept busy tending to my son who was shot in the leg on October 30. So I was quite busy running him to the hospital and to doctors appointments and getting medicine from the wrong drug stores. It seems they would tell me they called it into one store and when visited I would learn it was at the other location. Or even perchance another chain. Example the drugs the told me were called into Walgreens were actually called in to the Walmart store and not the closest one at that.

So any way featured in the November issue are three languages: Q, R, and S. All
three are statistical languages and are used a lot for creating graphical information too. The S language is proprietary. R is an open source version with most of the features of S.

As it is already December the coverage for the article on Tcl/Tk will be posted to the blog in a few days.
