> > I started work on Tcl when I returned from my sabbatical early in 1988, and I began using the first version of Tcl in a graphical text editor in the spring of 1988.
@geniusmusing Mostly the same stuff: * LAMP / LEMP / similar β Linux, Apache webserver (though I would also look at Nginx, Lighttpd, H20, Comanche, Cheyenne web servers), MySQL (though Iβd also look at PostgreSQL, SQLite, Firebird), PHP (though Iβd also look at Perl, Raku, Python, !TclTk, Ruby [and Ruby on Rails], JVM langs [Java, Scala, Groovy + Grails], JavaScript [and Node.js, Deno, Jsish]) * Cloud stuff (Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google GCP, IBM Cloud, CenturyLink Cloud) * C, C++, !DLang, Nim * Some of the NoSQL database technologies, such as Cassandra, Riak, MongoDB * MapReduce technologies, such as Hadoop
Note that a mention on the list above does not mean I will actively focus on learning that particular technology, just that it is one that has a potential of being a focal point.
One good thing about starting out so broad and zooming in a bit is that I have a few courses Iβve already paid for that are already in the zone. I can utilize some of them to steer me into the direction that works best for me.
If youβre interested in !TclTk, then you may find #jsish interesting, because its internals are designed based on some of Tclβs internals, and because it integrates the #Fossil #DVCS and can be updated using standard Fossil commands.
Good morning and #TZAG. Iβm almost finished with todayβs #YoCo ( #yogurt and #coffee ). Plans today include job searching, working on my toy project (part of learning #Lua; Iβm also going to do another version of it to revive my !TclTk knowledge and possibly a 3rd version in another language), and removing some of the weeds growing in the yard.
I also need to visit the stores to see whether TP supplies have come in.
I should jump over to the #Win10 machine and try to answer some challenge questions in #VBScript or #KiXtart, then circle back around with #PowerShell. Maybe I should use !tcltk before I tackle PS, since I will have to look up everything I do.
@arturovm Funny thing is that I was recently looking at #Lua, !TclTk, #Squirrel, but not since I started this search (and, again, I do not have any current need for it).
Also thinking of replacing the #Mageia install with #OpenSuse. Mostly because I want to use #OpenVPN and I want a !TclTk installation that doesn't segfault every time I try to use it.
Tried out subbing to the "BSD Now" podcast. Interesting, but the two episodes I've listened to are about four times too long and filled with babbling. Within 5-10 minutes, I've tuned out. #BSDNow
I think I'm going to unsubscribe, which will leave me with two: * Hacker Public Radio -- I've resubbed for the past couple of weeks and I have not burned out yet. Maybe I'm just a fan of @klaatu ;-) #HPR * Smalltalk Reflections -- This one is on another unannounced hiatus. I should probably take a look around and see whether there are any other !Smalltalk podcasts in currently active production.
I haven't really looked for them yet, but I'd be interested in trying out podcasts that focus mostly on !TclTk or !DLang.
