Book Description
Tcl/Tk (Tool Command Language/Tool Kit) makes it easy to create and implement testing, network, system administration, and user applications to run under Unix, Linux, Windows 95 and NT, or on the Macintosh-all without modifications and in less time than you'd believe possible. A glue language, a visual applications programming language, a scripting language, and an extensible language core, Tcl/Tk offers cross-platform capabilities and fulfills a variety of functions to complete your programming objectives with simplicity, power, and ease. Written from a programmer's perspective, Tcl/Tk for Real Programmers describes how to use this tool in standard programming constructs and details its unique language features such as associative arrays and Tcl namespaces. The discussions of development tools, techniques, and Tcl extensions (including how to build them) show how to use Tcl/Tk effectively so readers can take advantage of Tcl/Tk's strengths.

Tcl/Tk for Real Programmers is the complete resource for computer professionals from systems analysts to programmers interested in writing Tcl/Tk code. It covers versions up to 8.1 and includes a CD-ROM containing the interpreters, libraries, and tutorials to get a newcomer started quickly, with extra chapters including case studies and discussions of techniques for the advanced user. Other features include:

Explanations of how to use Tk to construct GUI interfaces and build Tk megawidgets in the text Tcl development tools and popular extensions within the book Tips and techniques for the advanced user
