Founder of Tool Command Language to talk about Tcl Past, Present & Future Ann Arbor, MI -- August 16, 2013 -- The Tcl/Tk User Association, which is celebrating over 20 years of innovation using the Tool Command Language (Tcl), confirmed today that John Ousterhout will be a Featured Speaker at the conference in New Orleans, LA from Sept 23-27, 2013. Ousterhout is the original developer of the Tcl and Tk programming language, a combination of the Tool Command Language and the Tk graphical user interface tookit (Tk). His presentation will focus on the evolution of Tcl/Tk from its original language format created at the University of California Berkeley to the most robust and easy-to-learn dynamic programming language that seamlessly powers today's applications. He is also the author of Tcl and the Tk ToolKit (2nd Edition). "John started a revolution born out of frustration," says Clif Flynt, President, Tcl Community Association and author of Tcl/Tk: A Developer's Guide. "Before Tcl, programmers devised their own languages that were intended to be embedded into applications. By creating Tcl/Tk, John created a language for rapid prototyping that works immediately." The Tcl New and Proven user conference will feature several Tcl experts including Jeff Hobbs, Chief Technical Officer at ActiveState, Gerald Lester, creator of Tcl Web Services and a keynote speech by Karl Lehenbauer of FlightAware.com. Programmers attending the conference will learn the best practices for using Tcl's new object-oriented commands and widgets as well as seeing new applications and techniques in the fields ranging from business applications to health, aerospace and beyond. "The Tcl New & Proven User Conference will be focusing on innovation throughout the years," says Flynt. "We are very pleased to have two of the people who helped create the Tcl we know today at our 20th conference." Interested in attending the Tcl conference?
