Summary: Technically and pedagogically high level
Review: The best Tk book existing. Even if one programs with Perl/Tk or Python/Tk, still this is THE book for how to use Tk. With this book one can complete ones Tk-GUIs, so that they do, what one initially wished them to to. The book is a good example of how to write a good computer book.

Summary: "the right book when you know the principles of tcl/tk"
Review: This book is truly useful because its examples are accurately explained. It is possible to read just the parts matching your own needs. Easy to read, nice pictures, really good. In my opinion, some examples like the paned window manager or the hierarchical browser are sufficient reason to buy these book. "Merci beaucoup" to the authors.

Summary: Must-read for serious Tcl/Tk programmers
Review: This is the book to buy after you've learned the basics of Tcl/Tk. The emphasis is on Tk, with lots of hints and tricks along with great advice and examples. Their explanation of how to make platform-independent use of Tk's options database is worth the price alone. (Maybe you don't think you need this, but you'll use it after seeing how it works!) Advanced topics include class bindings, "click, drag, drop", balloon help, animation, pipes and sockets, client/servers, cross-platform issues and much more.

Summary: Not for beginners in Tcl/Tk
Review: Too bad that none of the previous reviewers mentioned that this book is not for beginners. I happened to find this out reading the preface where the author refers you to other books if you arent already familiar with Tcl! What a farce, just wasted $40some bucks on this book.Once I learn Tcl/Tk from some 'other' book, perhaps I'll revisit this book and write another review.

Summary: Takes you from hacker to Tk programmer
Review: You can quickly start creating window apps using tk/tcl. This tends to result in poorly structured non-reusable code.
This books intention is not to teach you tk/tcl but to guide you to a style that will increase your productivity by an order of magnitude by showing how to create libraries that you can drop into any app (as a bonus it also includes many useful code examples which you can use to start this library.)
It focuses more on the tk side as the authors demonstrate how to build cross-platform window apps with networking capability. A worthwhile addition to any tk/tcl proagrammers bookshelf.
