DESCRIPTION:
An educational book - not a cookbook I have been buying books on TK programming (Perl and TCL). and most left me cold, with no real understanding of how TK works. I just followed the examples (most not practical) like a recipe without knowing the why of most steps, meaning I wasn't able to writes my own GUIs for my own specific needs other than by trial and error.This is the best book I have found, BY FAR.Just having the pack command explained allowed me to start creating my own applications which c. It's a must read book for all Tcl/Tk programmers. It's a must read book for all Tcl/Tk programmers. Certainly, it focuses on Tk, so it would be very valueable for current Python/Tk and Perl/Tk users.. The best book for advanced TCL/TK topics Once you have mastered tha basics of TCL/TK, then this book is a must read. It covers some very elegant programming techniques that are possible in an interpreted language, such as TCL.

McLennan is a Distinguished Member of Technical Staff at Bell Labs Innovations for Lucent Technologies, where he develops software for Computer-Aided Design (CAD). He developed the incr Tcl extension, which adds object-oriented facilities to
Acknowledgments Many people have made this book possible. In the course of this book, we develop more than two dozen useful components, including a toolbar, a paned window, a balloon help facility, and a confirmation dialog. With a text widget and 100 lines of Tcl code, you can put together a program for sending electronic mail (e-mail) messages. John Ousterhout's Tcl and the Tk Toolkit starts with a complete overview of the Tcl language and then goes on to describe each of the Tk widgets. But Tcl/Tk is not limited to UNIX systems. And thanks to all of the other reviewers who have made this work stronger: Ron Hutchins, Raymond Johnson, Steve Johnson, Oliver Jones, Joe Konstan, David Richardson, Alexei Rodriguez, and Win Treese. Along the way, we describe the lessons that we've learned from developing many thousands of lines of Tcl/Tk code. You don't need to know everything about the X window system or the Micr
It explains Tcl features that have no counterpart in conventional programming languages, in particular readers should gain an in-depth understanding of two fundamental Tcl/Tk concepts - Quoting and Packing.. Based on the author's experience building and deploying mission-critical Tcl software and teaching others to do the same, this book offers information on how to exploit the full potential of this programming environment
