Tcl and the Tk Toolkit (Addison-Wesley Professional Computing Series)

I loved this book. Ever since I first stumbled across tcl/tk as a young man starting on my road to Sys Admin greatness, I promised myself I'd learn this scripting language with its ability to create the graphical interfaces for one's applications.This book is brilliant. Written by the creator of the scripting language it's clear, concise and full of examples, and explanations all clearly written. The condition of this book - despite it's near 20 year age is in pretty good condition not as good as new but still good. The order was processed quickly and delivery was very prompt, being much earlier than the date given. I would recommend this seller and would use them again.

Excellent book. Very well written.

This is a good example of a language intro and is the original guide to Tcl/Tk. As such it is a good tutorial and explains the rationale behind Tcl/Tk. However its now very old and much of the content has become, if not actually outdated, at least partially so since Tcl/Tk has developed and new features added. This book could lead the reader to try to build something that already exists in industrial quality elsewhere. However team this book with a more modern text such as the O'Reilly Nutshell guide or Welsh's book and it's a good starter in Tcl/Tk.
