This introduction to Tcl/Tk bridges the gaps between introductions, comprehensive manuals, and collections of scripts that solve particular problems. There are over 200 exercises with solutions that run on both Unix and Windows platforms.
Tcl/Tk for Programmers is an introduction to the high-level Tcl/Tk scripting language for experienced programmers with either Unix or Windows background. The book includes a short introduction to TCP/IP, as well as longer introductions to writing client-side scripts and GUI interfaces, and integrating scripts with C/C++.
Tcl is a scripting language somewhat like Perl but extensible and clearer. Tk is an extension, developed by the creator of Tcl, used for creating scripts that interact with users through windows. After version 8.0/8.0, the unusually fast development of Tcl/Tk has slowed to a more normal pace. Tcl/Tk for Programmers covers this version while describing its major differences with the previous version 7.6/4.2 and the experimental alpha version 8.1/8.1 Zimmer has extensive knowledge of Tcl/Tk programming and currently runs a consulting and training company based on his experience.
