Tcl and Tk Programming

Arrived quickly and was in perfect condition. Would use this vendor again.

Great book - easy and understandable examples

This book was exactly what I needed. I have plenty of programming experience but TCL is new to me. This chapters in this book walked through a series of examples that gave me all the information I needed to get the job done. Downloading the code examples from the web site helped to make it even easier. I don't consider this book as a reference guide but instead a great primer on the TCL language. That's exactly what I was looking for and that's what I got.

Buy this if you want to develop non-web UIs quickly

I've been a web developer for nearly the entire 10 years of my IT career, and this book's section on Tk, the toolkit for building (non-web) UIs, is the best resource for quickly developing useful UIs that I've come across my entire career.
