Subject: Tcl/Tk Workshop!David,
>This is to announce a new workshop at the 1994 GRASS Users
>Conference: "An Introduction to Tcl/Tk."I realize I am a little late in contacting you, however, our office
is interested in this workshop if it is still being held. It wasn't
announced on the original conference schedule, and the timing on
Sunday morning won't be conducive to "drop-ins", so I realize that
you may not have enough folks to hold it.

Is this workshop designed
for the programmer or user? If it is for the programmer/developer,
will there be an oportunity for demonstrating the capabilities/look/whatever
to a user?Thanks for your time.

I am passing this on to grassu also to help clarify the content.
Hi. Thanks for your note.
Well so far it hasn't been cancelled. If you have anyone interested,
please contact Pam Cashman soon. I targeted the class originally towards
the frustrated Xgen developer. (which is typically non-programmers)
It assumes a person is capable of writing Xgen and/or shell scripts.
Both of those were targeted at 'users' more that 'programmers'. Tcl
is very simple, and yet quite powerful, so it definately is usable
by more knowlegable programmers.
Tcl can be used by non programers to make fairly complex user
interfaces. It is desirable to have a programmer help to design more
complex systems and/or reusable tools (like xgbrowser type
capabilities).
As for demos, I don't know what I will be able to do at the workshop,
but I think there are going to be at least 2 presentations about Tcl
interfaces in the paper sessions.
