Synopsis

This book will fill a void in the current Tcl/Tk bookshelf. It is written to the latest version of Tcl/Tk (8.0, perhaps 8.1, depending on Sun's release schedule) and addresses Tcl/Tk under Windows as well as Unix. It includes discussions on proper coding techniques, instead of just language syntax. Clif Flynt gives readers a very 'hands on' book, with an emphasis towards allowing a reader to pick up the book as needed to find the answer to a question, instead of assuming that it will be read cover to cover.

About this title

Review

A delicious masterpiece. --CHEF'S DIGEST

From the Author

Designed to get you up and running fast.
I learned Tcl/Tk almost 5 years ago, not because it was a neat language, but because I needed to perform some regression testing on code I was maintaining, and Tcl looked like the best tool for the job.

I wrote Tcl/Tk for Real Programmers to help folks in a similar need-to-use-it-now mode get up to speed as quickly as possible. The second goal was to explain some advanced concepts like how to do large project management with the namespace and package commands.

The CD-ROM has several tutorials, both html based and interactive to get you programming within a few hours. The book fills in more details and explains how to use Tcl constructs you may not be familiar with (like associative arrays).

Finally, the CD-ROM has a set of real world case studies provided by folks from around the world explaining what they did, and how.

I tried hard to make this book a one-stop source for Tcl/Tk programmers.

I hope you'll think I succeeded.
