5.0 out of 5 stars Best general Tcl book so far, October 8, 1999

Leslie Johnson (les@infolabs.com) (Morristown, NJ USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tcl/Tk For Real Programmers (The For Real Programmers Series) (Paperback)

I find Flynt's presentation of information very clear. He presents difficult topics in the order that makes the most sense, tells you just what you need to know without excess verbiage, and gives clear examples.

I've been using Tcl/Tk for over six years, and have several books on the subject, but this is the one I reach for first. Other books concentrate more on specialized topics like Web programming, but this is a solid text and reference for the basics. His reviews of extensions and other useful packages are also very helpful

5.0 out of 5 stars The only resource you will need to learn Tcl/Tk, June 23, 1999

Omar G. (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Tcl/Tk For Real Programmers (The For Real Programmers Series) (Paperback)

This book is both a very good introduction for anyone wanting to learn Tcl/Tk quickly, and a valuable reference for experienced Tcl programmers. It is very readable, moves at a reasonable pace, and contains non-trivial real world examples showing the true power of Tcl/Tk. It also contains an index of commands used in the book's examples, which is helpful in getting a deeper understanding of how a command can be used. The included CD-ROM contains all the interpreters, libraries, and tutorials needed to get started. A very useful book indeed.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too focused on Tk, September 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Tcl/Tk For Real Programmers (The For Real Programmers Series) (Paperback)

This book is somewhat imcomplete. It focuses too much on Tk and widgets and lacks a multitude of commands. I have found many more commands for Tcl on the web that are not even hinted to in this book. This book is especially not good for sockets programming.
