Beginner book on TCL/TK - very little web programming, July 2, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Web Development with Tcl/Tk 8.1: A Complete Resource for Programmmers and Developers (Paperback)
I was very disappointed in this book. The title suggets that the book covers tcl programs for the web. I was expecting sockets, http, ftp, etc.. There is a total of 4 pages that deals with sockets. Some good coverage on tclets but minimal. The vast majority of the book (90%) deals with the various widgits in tk and tcl programming constructs. A good book for beginners to tcl/tk but very little on web development

More on TCL/TK than web programming, October 21, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Web Development with Tcl/Tk 8.1: A Complete Resource for Programmmers and Developers (Paperback)
If I had picked up this book for web programming I would have been very disappointed as only the last chapter covers this. Instead I was looking for a book on TCL/Tk 8.0 or later and this acts as a very good introduction. All of the sample code is built-up line by line and worked through repeatedly; This might get wearying, but it is much clearer than other books on TCL I have read. You do not need a laptop to work though the examples when reading the book on a bus either.
