Tcl/Tk for Programmers

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 for both Unix and Windows platforms.

Tcl/Tk for Programmers introduces high-level Tcl/Tk scripting language to experienced programmers with either Unix or Windows backgrounds. It includes a short introduction to TCP/IP, introductions on writing client-side scripts and GUI interfaces as well as integrating scripts with C/C++. In addition to covering version 8.0/8.0, the book describes the major differences between version 8.0/8.0, 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.

J. Adrian Zimmer was raised in Nebraska and lived in Canada, Denmark, and Iran as well as South Carolina, Oklahoma, North Dakota, and Massachusetts. Educated through a postdoc in mathematics, his publications include two books Tcl/Tk for Programmers, I.E.E.E. Computer Society Press, 1998 and  Abstraction for Programmers, McGraw Hill, 1985.
