Summary: Teachs you how to really use TCL/TK
Review: An excellent book on the use of TCL/TK. Takes much of the mystery out of the way that TCL/TK graphic widgets work and how to build the GUIs with TCK/TK. It has many very practical sections. In particular, how the graphics rendering works, using TCL programs as data storage and the chapter on client server applications. Very easy to read and understand. All the code is available of the net so it is easy to extend the tools described. The authors are real experts but can explain the concepts well for even the novice programmer.

Summary: Excellent. Picks up where Welch's book leaves off.
Review: An excellent book. Picks up where Welch's book ends, with a applied approach. I really appreciate the coverage devoted to developing re-usable code via script libraries. This is an absolute "must read" for any serious Tcl/Tk developer.

Summary: it does focus on tk
Review: i find the title of this book, and its promise, to be a bit misleading. it focuses on tk with little about tcl specifics in there. i find myself not using this book very often except when i have to do something tricky in tk. i program in tcl every day, but i don't do much tk anymore. you wont learn tcl/tk from this, but you may pick up some great tk organization and features. i'd say this book is overpriced, too, so see if you can buy it used. if you're looking at getting a book to make you an advanced tcl programmer, i'd look elsewhere first.

Summary: A role model for computer books
Review: I hope that other authors of computer books have a look at this book. Not only the good contents, the presentation is very thoutful and well done. I could not resisit "wow" when starting chapter 2 which is about packing, gridding and placing windows. The books uses figures very effectly to let readers see what is going on without unnecessay longer wordy explanations. Bold face font is also well used in listing the source codes so that you can see the change/improvememnt right away. I hope we have this sort of books in every subjects and less number of introductory books.

Summary: One of a small set of "must read" books.
Review: If you were forced to identify the best Tcl/Tk book ever written, this would be it. The examples are not just toys. They are useful in their own right. The breadth covered is extensive. Each topic covered is the best I have yet seen. With this book, you can probably even omit reading Ousterhout. It is hard to provide code and then to describe the code in a useful way but this book accomplishes it, with no nonsense. I keep three copies, one at home, one at work, and one in my brief case. McLennon created [incr Tcl] and his intro to it in "Tcl/Tk Tools" is also good. I wish he had written "[incr Tcl] from the Ground Up" as his style is more concise than Chad Smith.

Summary: The best book for advanced TCL/TK topics
Review: 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.
