For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
Tcl scripts / processes on a web server via CGI

If you have programs / scripts / processes written in Tcl, you can run them on your web server via the Common gateway Interface, possibly with a bit of topping and tailing to read data from a form rather than via gets commands, and to ensure that the output does get the right headers attached to it and is 'proofed' against nasty injection attacks.

In response to a query received on this subject, I've installed Tcl on our live server today so that you can run a script to try it out. The source code of the web page that you'll need to fill in is here and that submits via CGI to a Tcl script source here. You can run the demonstration here.

There's a second Tcl / CGI / web demonstration here ... that link will take you to the source code, and when you've seen what it does you can run it.

We briefly mention using Tcl on a web server on our Tcl Programming Course. I won't pretend it's a major part of the public course - it isn't - but if the subject is important to you, plan to stick around on the last day and I'll cover some more CGI stuff with you. Private courses are tailored ... and I can spend a lot longer on CGI on those courses if you wish.
