Resources for learning TCL/TK
 

Alright, here's the thread to dump any and all resources, online or otherwise, for learning Tcl/Tk. So far I've found the tutorial at http://www.tcl.tk, found directly Here. Anybody have some recommendations on other good ones? I, personally prefer one I can work with offline, like one long page I can keep open in my browser or a downloadable one. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the link. If i get time i will look it over. :)

p.s. I edited your post for the link that you have in Here cause it didnt work :) i just fixed it

"Practical Programming in Tcl and Tk," by Brent Welch (ISBN: 0-13-038560-3) is a great starting point. It begins with a good introduction to Tcl syntax and then about 60% of the book covers the Tk toolkit. A decent, well written (if quite short and heavy-going) section at the back explains extending Tcl and Tk with C and embedding the interpreter in C programs.

The edition I read (many moons ago now) was smaller than this (fourth) one, actually; this one seems to have quite a bit of new and updated material. Although I know that I've covered this material before, I'm seriously considering buying the new edition - Brent Welch is an excellent author.

There are some sample chapters online and more details at http://www.beedub.com/book/ if you're interested.

I also got a great book on incr Tcl/Tk but it's out of print so I guess I was lucky to find it - it's called "Incr Tcl/Tk from the Ground Up" (by Chad Smith; ISBN: 0072121068). Don't just get this book though - the ground in question is pretty high up to start with (it assumes you are very familiar with Tcl/Tk before you start). I picked up my copy for £2 in a charity shop - lucky me :)

I've found a relatively obscure tutorial on the web, as well, which looks good - especially if you're learning Tcl/Tk as a way into programming since it starts with an introduction to scripting languages in general:

It's by Christopher Trudeau and although I haven't ploughed through the whole thing it actually seems to cover a hell of a lot for an online tutorial.

Hope these are helpful.

Much obliged , Mackenga. Thanks for fixing that K. I thought I tested it first, but I guess I didn't. lol
