Useful Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I'm an electronic engineer and I view programming as a peripheral skill necesssary to get the job done. This normally involves knowing what you want the program to do and researching existing literature till you find how to make it happen. Graphical Applications with TCL/TK made the job of creating custom GUI's relatively easy. The book is well written with working code modules for generating various widgets. The later chapters tie these modules together into standalone working programs. The CD has a contributions directory with programs from different authors that was helpful. It would have been nicer to have a few more Windows based contributions but I believe that is a symptom of TCL's UNIX ancestry. I've read some other TCL/TK programming books that were a waste of time, don't bother this is the tool you need.
Excellent book for the 2nd step

This is definitely an excellent book for the beginner or even "advanced" beginner. After reading Ousterhout this book helps to find out about various ways to use Tcl in a more practical manner. Section-1 introduces into all the basic stuff that people usually want to use Tcl for. Section-2 gives good hints on how to write more complex applications. The last chapters though are getting somewhat superficial. But that is when you already became a more sophisticated programmer and need more sophisticated books.
Great introduction to TCL/Tk programming
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Simple and numerous examples demonstrate the many tcl/tk commands, presented for both unix and windows. Very good for reading and doing cover to cover The emphasis is on graphical layout, which I have found to usually be the most difficult part to quickly become proficient at.Its organization does not lend to rapidly looking up commands or syntax, but that is what the man pages are for.Overall it is well written and easy to follow, and very exhaustive in its coverage.
Great book for Tcl/Tk beginners!

This must be the ultimate beginners book for Tcl/Tk. Lots of examples and step by step explanations. Good for both Linux/Unix and Windows programmers!
Nice book for Tcl programers who want to move to Tk.

This is a very nice book, with a lot of examples and illustrations that gives an intermediate Tcl programmer a very good introduction to Tk. Ignoring the fact that the book work with an older version of Tcl/Tk (but then,new versions are comming out every month), I would recommend this book to most programmres. This book is not for someone that have never programmed before, but if you have programed before (in any language) this book will give you a good starting point for writing GUI application with Tk. One bad thing: the book's cover makes promises that the book itself does not keep!
