Interactive Web Applications With Tcl/Tk

Summary: Better get a Book of Brent Welche instead!
Review: 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)

Summary: Good demos
Review: 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.

Summary: Excellent introduction to Tcl/Tk
Review: 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.

Review: One of those programming language books where the printed source code is used to fill the pages. The authors to not show HOW things work. It's just a collection of well documented Tcl code. Most of the example are based on the Spynergy Toolbox, which is a rather "exotic" toolbox for Tcl/Tk and not at all a Tcl/Tk standard. Half of the book is a Tcl/Tk introduction. But if you want to learn Tcl/Tk use Brent Welch's book. The second half is nearl ONLY Tcl source.
