NeoWebScript™ is a module for the Apache webserver that allows you to embed the Tcl/Tk programming language in your webpages as a scripting tool. The Apache webserver is the world's most popular webserver, accounting for just under 60% of the 22,282,727 sites polled by the November 2000 Netcraft Web Server survey. The next largest entry were the various Microsoft servers, reporting in with slightly less than 20% of the total sites. Tcl/Tk is the powerful, free, cross-platform scripting language developed by Dr. John Ousterhout, CEO of Ajuba Solutions and formerly a Sun Distinguished Engineer. In his own words "Tcl/Tk lets software developers get the job done ten times faster than with toolkits based on C or C++. It's also a great glue language for making existing applications work together and making them more graphical and Internet-aware." Scriptics is a company dedicated exclusively to scripting tools, applications and services around a core of Tcl, the most powerful and flexible scripting language available today. Karl Lehenbauer, the founder and formerly the Chief Technical Officer of NeoSoft, has been part of Tcl/Tk development from the very beginning. Together with Mark Diehkans, they authored Extended Tcl, also known as TclX, a powerful set of extensions to the language. Many of the current core Tcl commands originated in Extended Tcl, and were then imported into the core language by Dr. Ousterhout. Karl is now a member of the Tcl core team. |
