  • And I really believe in that

    I was a novice in TCL programming 10 years back. One thing that led from novice to an expert is “Practice”

    Be it learning scripting language or an EDA tool, nothing beats ‘concepts’. I have been proving this in my courses, how learning a tool is the last 5% task of entire learning flow.

    My students, who have been working with on several projects and also learning through my courses, have not only learned semiconductors, but lived the journey. And I promise, the same will happen with my this course on TCL scripting as well.

    I have been using the same approach in last 10 years for solving problems, be it a TCL script issue or an issue with STA timing violation or an issue with DRC or an issue with floor planning or an issue with routing congestion, you name it..

    You will witness the same in all my courses and in this one as well. Let’s unveil the concepts of data flow and manipulation using TCL scripts

  • Frequently Asked Questions

    How long do I have access to the course materials?

    You can view and review the lecture materials indefinitely, like an on-demand channel.

    Can I take my courses with me wherever I go?

    Definitely! If you have an internet connection, courses on Udemy are available on any device at any time. If you don’t have an internet connection, some instructors also let their students download course lectures. That’s up to the instructor though, so make sure you get on their good side!
