NeoWebScript™ 3.3 released!
On July 26, 2000, the NeoWebScript Group released
NeoWebScript™ 3.3. This release has a few new commands and
configuration options. It mostly consists of bug fixes, version upgrades
and a few minor enhancements to the code. See the Release Notes for more
information.
NeoWebScript™ is a fast, secure, easy to learn way to do powerful,
server-based interactive programming directly in the HTML code in web pages.
With NeoWebScript™, counters, email forms, graffiti walls, guest
books and visitor tracking are all easy, even for a beginning programmer.
If you're on a webserver that has NeoWebScript™ installed and
you would like to started with it, we have a lot of
User Info available. Our New User FAQ
has the basic answers to get you started.
The Tutorials guide you through
learning the language, while the Demos
give you prebuilt applications you can download and modify.
Commands and
Variables are the complete language
references, and Troubleshooting
contains hints and tips to help you get past any problems.
If you'd like to install NeoWebScript™ on your webserver,
your Webmaster needs to read our Sysop FAQ
to get started. Theory of Operations
will explain how NeoWebScript™ works, while installation will
take them through the steps. Management
deals with configuration issues and running the server,
tests let you verify correct
NeoWebScript™ operation, and
troubleshooting deals with
server problems.
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. It was invented by Karl Lehenbauer,
NeoSoft's Chief Technical Officer,
and documented, enhanced and extended by NeoSoft's programmers and
technical writers.
The Apache webserver is the world's
most popular webserver, accounting for over 56% of the 7,078,217 sites
polled by the July 1999
Netcraft Web Server survey.
The next largest entry were the various Microsoft servers, reporting in
with slightly over 22%.
Tcl/Tk is the powerful, free,
cross-platform scripting language developed by
Dr. John Ousterhout, CEO of
Scriptics Corporation and formerly a Sun Distinguished Engineer.
In his own words
Karl Lehenbauer, Founder and 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 or NeoSoft Tcl,
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.
"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.
The Tcl Consortium
is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting Tcl/Tk.
