Summary: Excellent. Picks up where Welch's book leaves off.
Comment: 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: Teachs you how to really use TCL/TK
Comment: 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: it does focus on tk
Comment: 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.
