Not only will this �learn by doing� approach provide you with an instant sense of accomplishment, but it�s also a fun way to learn. Plus, in addition to learning Tcl and Tk, you�ll also learn the basics of computer programming, so you�ll have a solid foundation from which you can confidently jump to other programming languages.
