Product Description

Synopsis
Tcl/Tk is a scripting language suited for accomplishing a variety of interactivity including information collection, security and encryption, game development, and task automation. This book introduces the Tcl/Tk language as a viable Web application development tool. It presents the fundamentals of programming with Tcl/Tk to equip the reader with applications that take advantage of the Internet environment. The CD-ROM contains a variety of examples and tools which allow the reader to either build on basic applications or use the lessons in the book to build a "weblet" from scratch.

From the Author
Who this book is for:
This book was written for novice programmers -- to introduce them to the ease and power of Tcl/Tk and to show how amazing Web applications, such as interactive Web applets, Web browsers, Web servers, autonomous agents, client/server databases, browser-pull, and server push applications can be quickly built using Tcl/Tk, without the developer having to get a degree in computer science (or grow old) in the process. All of the examples in the book will run identically, without modification, on Windows, Mac and UNIX systems. The book is also for all of us who bought Visual Basic in the early '90s, hoping to find an easy-to-use tool for building our own interactive applications, only to find that VB just gathered dust on our shelves because it was much more difficult to use than we had hoped. Tcl/Tk finally provides the solution that we've been looking for.

1.0 out of 5 stars Better get a Book of Brent Welche instead!, 22 May 1999
By A Customer
Forget this book. Half of the book consists of a Tcl/Tk introduction, better explanations are found in other books. Tcl/Tk code builds the other half, and Tcl/Tk code examples are available for free on the net. The toolbox they use in their examples hides all the real information you would need to understand the examples. But that's not given.

If you really want to learn about Tcl/Tk refer to the books of Brent Welch. There you will find a lot of examples and, in case you need more Tcl/Tk source code to learn something, look at the applications available (f.e. at Scriptics.com)

5.0 out of 5 stars Good demos, 5 Feb 1999
By A Customer
I really liked the example code. It's nice for a change to see really useful example programs, instead of the usual enginerdish foobar stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent introduction to Tcl/Tk, 5 Feb 1999
By A Customer
I've read a lot of introductory computer books that have left me after reading with the question "now what?" This book definitely answers that question. The example of the pure Tcl PointCast clone was absolutly incredible! The Spynergy Toolkit library makes it surprisingly easy to put together these sorts of apps, without much fuss.
