Description
This book will fill a void in the current Tcl/Tk bookshelf. It is written to the latest version of Tcl/Tk (8.0, perhaps 8.1, depending on Sun's release schedule) and addresses Tcl/Tk under Windows as well as Unix. It includes discussions on proper coding techniques, instead of just language syntax. Clif Flynt gives readers a very 'hands on' book, with an emphasis towards allowing a reader to pick up the book as needed to find the answer to a question, instead of assuming that it will be read cover to cover.
