Tcl/Tk in A Nutshell
The Tcl language and Tk graphical toolkit are simple and powerful building blocks for custom applications. The Tcl/Tk combination is increasingly popular because it lets you produce sophisticated graphical interfaces with a few easy commands, develop and change scripts quickly, and conveniently tie together existing utilities or programming libraries. One of the attractive features of Tcl/Tk is the wide variety of commands, many offering a wealth of options. You'll find that a command or option probably exists to provide just what you need. This valuable quick reference briefly describes every command and option in the core Tcl/Tk distribution, as well as the most popular extensions. Keep this book on your desk as you write scripts, and you'll be able to find almost instantly the particular option you need. Covers: core Tcl and Tk commands and Tk widgets, C interface (prototypes), Expect, [incr Tcl] and [incr Tk], Tix, TclX, BLT, Oratcl, SybTcl, and Tclodbc. more

Good reference for Tcl/Tk 8.0, but now outdated
This book really needs to be updated for the latest version of Tcl/Tk, as there have been a number of important additions since it was published in 1999. For example, all the new string commands and regular expression enhancements added in 8.1, the new file operations added in 8.3, and the new...

Disorganized, incomplete, and unfriendly
The book has lots of information but one has to go through lots to loops to get to where the information should be and then it may not be there.E.g., the index has no mention of the 'wm' command--one that I often encounter.E.g., another book implies that there is a canvas command 'delete all'....

Good reference, not so good for beginners
If you need some hand-holding and are just getting started with TCL then this book is not for you. Tcl/TK in a nutshell is exactly what the title says, a desktop quick reference. Don't expect many examples or explanations. Compared to Perl / C style languages TCL is a little weird to look at and...

Good reference, but don't expect anything else.
As a reference goes, this is pretty good. I've noticed a certain hit or miss aspect of the O'Reilly Nutshell series. This one is more of a hit for me personally. Still, I'm already bumping into things I wish this book covered. stooop, for one thing. There isn't much here that you won't find in...

it's a nutshell book ... stuff you can get online
this is the tcl book i keep handiest, even though it doesn't offer me much of anything beyond the manual pages. what it does offer is a compendium of tcl, tk, expect, tix, blt, itcl, itk, tclx, and the like's references. i've always been disappointed in tcl's online documentation. you can easily...

It's not a tutorial....
The previous reviewers seemed to think that this book would teach them the way of TCL/TK and were thoroughly disappointed. But what they failed to realize that this book is meant to be nothing more then a reference book. Perhaps if they had paid attention to the product description, they would...

The worst programming book I ever bought
If it was possible to give this book 0 stars I certainly would have. As others have said before, this is just a bad book.

I thought I could count on O'Reilly
I usually find O'Reilly books excellent but this one is a disppointment. You could print out the Tcl manual pages and get as much information. Examples are few and meager. There should at least be a brief primer, with examples, to get the reader accustomed to the Tcl way of doing things. There's...

Bad book
The only book that has disappointed me of this editorial. Do you imagine to learn English with a dictionary?, like it was said previously.

This is not a Tcl book
I bought this book thinking I would get a good primer/reference book on Tcl. It might be useful for reference, but is almost useless for people new to the language. Out of 440 pages, only 46 are for Tcl and mostly it's a just a brief summary of commands. Think of trying to learn English using...
