One of a small set of "must read" books.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
If you were forced to identify the best Tcl/Tk book ever written, this would be it. The examples are not just toys. They are useful in their own right. The breadth covered is extensive. Each topic covered is the best I have yet seen. With this book, you can probably even omit reading Ousterhout. It is hard to provide code and then to describe the code in a useful way but this book accomplishes it, with no nonsense. I keep three copies, one at home, one at work, and one in my brief case. McLennon created [incr Tcl] and his intro to it in "Tcl/Tk Tools" is also good. I wish he had written "[incr Tcl] from the Ground Up" as his style is more concise than Chad Smith.
Technically and pedagogically high level

The best Tk book existing. Even if one programs with Perl/Tk or Python/Tk, still this is THE book for how to use Tk. With this book one can complete ones Tk-GUIs, so that they do, what one initially wished them to to. The book is a good example of how to write a good computer book.
Excellent. Picks up where Welch's book leaves off.

An excellent book. Picks up where Welch's book ends, with a applied approach. I really appreciate the coverage devoted to developing re-usable code via script libraries. This is an absolute "must read" for any serious Tcl/Tk developer.
Teachs you how to really use TCL/TK
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
An excellent book on the use of TCL/TK. Takes much of the mystery out of the way that TCL/TK graphic widgets work and how to build the GUIs with TCK/TK. It has many very practical sections. In particular, how the graphics rendering works, using TCL programs as data storage and the chapter on client server applications. Very easy to read and understand. All the code is available of the net so it is easy to extend the tools described. The authors are real experts but can explain the concepts well for even the novice programmer.
"the right book when you know the principles of tcl/tk"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
This book is truly useful because its examples are accurately explained. It is possible to read just the parts matching your own needs. Easy to read, nice pictures, really good. In my opinion, some examples like the paned window manager or the hierarchical browser are sufficient reason to buy these book. "Merci beaucoup" to the authors.
