Items related to Tcl/Tk for Real Programmers
Synopsis
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.
· A sufficiently detailed overview of the Tcl/Tk language that readers can determine if this is the proper tool for their project.
· Enough information that an experienced programmer can start working with the language immediately.
· Hints and tips on how to use the language effectively.
· Templates that will minimize the new language learning curve.
Macintosh, Windows, Unix, Linux
User requirements would be Windows 3.1 with 32bit DLL, Windows
95, Windows NT, Macintosh, Unix, Linux, or Solaris. A 386 or better CPU, 4 Meg Ram, and 4 Meg free disk space. Different packages will have different disk space requirements. A good guess is 2 Meg / package.

From the Back Cover
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
The accompanying CD-ROM contains all the examples from the book, multiple Tcl tutorials, reference papers, packages, and extensions for Tcl versions 7.6, 8.0, and 8.1. Bonus chapters include real-life case studies of Tcl/Tk applications.
