open language-based software, services, and resources, announces the Tcl Dev Kit 2.0, ActiveState’s major update to the Tcl toolkit,
enabling rapid development and delivery of Tcl applications on the
HP-UX, Linux, Solaris, and Windows platforms. The Tcl Dev Kit 2.0
extends the functionality of the original TclPro tool set with tool UIs,
Tcl 8.4 support, and overall quality improvements.
The Tcl Dev Kit 2.0 gives Tcl developers a powerful suite of
application development tools, similar to those enjoyed by the thousands
of Perl programmers using ActiveState’s Perl Dev
Kit. Key new enhancements to the Tcl Dev Kit are tool UIs added to
the Wrapper and Compiler, making the options for these tools clearer and
more manageable. As well, the debugging coverage option ensures code is
thoroughly tested, and hotspot profiling helps identify performance
bottlenecks.
“The quality of ActiveState’s Tcl Dev Kit really shows. It’s a lot
more stable and consistent than the open source version [TclPro], and it
has a really intuitive user interface,” said Joe Mistachkin, Principal
Software Engineer of TCLBridge. “I use ActiveState’s Tcl Dev Kit in the
development of TCLBridge and find the debugger is great at handling all
facets of source-level Tcl debugging, allowing me to get work done more
quickly and accurately.”
Tcl Dev Kit 2.0 features and benefits:
- TclPro Checker – Batch mode static code analyzer from command prompt
checks for errors as you write code - TclPro Debugger – Powerful Tcl debugging capabilities including
remote debugging - TclPro Wrapper – Deploy Tcl programs as ready-to-run executables for
HP-UX, Linux, Solaris, and Windows - TclPro Compiler – A pre-compiler for obfuscating your code from
prying eyes
The Tcl Dev Kit is available for $295. It is also provided as part
of ActiveState’s complete Tcl programming bundle, ASPN Tcl, for $495. The
ASPN Tcl bundle also contains: a Tcl-enabled version of ActiveState’s
Komodo IDE for open languages, online access to Tcl resources including
the Tcl Cookbook, interactive tools, and ASPN’s comprehensive
programming resources.
