Who should attend: Programmers and managers who are using Tcl/Tk to build large, real-world applications. This tutorial assumes a working knowledge of Tcl/Tk. Some background in object-oriented programming is helpful, though not required. [incr Tcl] provides a set of object-oriented extensions for the Tcl language. Since its inception in 1993, it has become the de facto standard for object-oriented Tcl programming.

• Class definition syntax
• Inheritance (is-a) relationships
• Compositional (has-a) relationships
• Multiple inheritance
