[MACTCL] Hello... (INTRO)

[macnerd <ma...@re...>]

Hi all.

I am a whitebox server QA tester.  I am interested in learning scripting =
languages to
see how they can benefit testing.  I am now using ActivePerl on Windows, =
and I am
using tools to do OLE Automation with MS Outlook 2k.  I would like to =
monitor other
languages like tcl/tk and python as well.

Personally, I own a pc-box, a G4 cube, and a g4 titanium.  I run both =
Mac OS 9.x=20
and Mac OS X. I like MacOS X because they added korean and chinese =
support
recently, and also because it is UNIX, and it is well ... cool.  I do =
web-projects=20
with XML and SOAP stuff at home using Linux.

On the Mac OS, I would like monitor and play with some thigns:
=20
   - use AppleEvents to puppeteer applications and have better =
integration with the MacOS
   - use Carbonized version to have pretty gem-like Aqua buttons under =
MacOS X
   - have a build system in MPW for classic builds as I get aggravated =
with CodeWarrior
     proj files NEVER working.  Move resources to .r's to better =
maintainability and check-in,
     if this is not done already.

For general technologies I am interested in the following to work with =
Mac OS
  =20
   - TclDP, Tix, and other toys common in tck/tk world
   - TclSOAP
   - any and all freeware XML solutions (expat, DOM, SAX, TrAX, PDOM)
   - CGI parsing algorithms
   - TclODBC
   - Combat (CORBA in Tcl)
   - AOLServer
   - DB server (there was one out there but it disappeared)

regards,=20
