Summary: A great book!
Review: This book is a pleasure to read and to use as a reference. Among its features are: use of a recent version of Tcl/Tk, an orderly presentation, straightforward an well-motivated examples, a useful index, a CD-ROM with easy-to-install and useful selections, good typesetting, and high quality paper. It's been a real hit in my Unix programming class.

Summary: The only resource you will need to learn Tcl/Tk
Review: This book is both a very good introduction for anyone wanting to learn Tcl/Tk quickly, and a valuable reference for experienced Tcl programmers. It is very readable, moves at a reasonable pace, and contains non-trivial real world examples showing the true power of Tcl/Tk. It also contains an index of commands used in the book's examples, which is helpful in getting a deeper understanding of how a command can be used. The included CD-ROM contains all the interpreters, libraries, and tutorials needed to get started. A very useful book indeed.

Rating:
Summary: Too focused on Tk
Review: This book is somewhat imcomplete. It focuses too much on Tk and widgets and lacks a multitude of commands. I have found many more commands for Tcl on the web that are not even hinted to in this book. This book is especially not good for sockets programming.

Rating:
Summary: Not a bad book for reference.
Review: This is a good book for people who have a sound knowledge ofTCL / Tk, and not for starters. I was myself a starter and couldnt learn mush out of the book. Author must learn how to present information. I felt the book was flooded unorderly with information. People like me could not follow his preaching's.
