From Library Journal
Tcl/Tk (called tickleTK) is a very powerful programming language for all sorts of projects, from visual application development to web scripting to meshing together varieties of applications and utilities written in different languages in order to create a new application. The program competes very favorably with Visual Basic, Java, Perl, and UNIX shell languages. It is a great tool for rapid prototype development; runs on almost all hardware, with no code changes; and is much easier to learn than Perl, C/C++, or Java. Flynt's book is aimed at programmers, but it is an excellent introduction to learning the basics of Tcl/Tk. Recommended for large public libraries and most academic institutions.

Tcl/Tk for Real Programmers, by Clif Flynt, is a more than good enough book about a good enough language. It is rendered especially valuable by the attachment of a content-rich and well-organized CD-ROM. If you program or wish to program in Tcl/Tk and don't feel your resources are complete, your library needs this reference. Tcl, pronounced "tickle" and short for "tool command language," was developed by John Ousterhout in the 1980s as an embeddable command interpreter designed as a virtual machine. Tk is the tool kit of GUI extensions that put Tcl/Tk in the position in UNIX that is occupied by Rexx and the Workstation Agent on the S/390, and by Visual Basic on Wintel. It's there for applications which must have a GUI but consist largely of non-GUI code, often composed of an extant non-Tcl application base, which Tcl is then used to script. On Linux, for instance, Tcl/Tk is used as a GUI wrapper around certain administrative tasks embodied in system commands and sbin shell scripts; on the other hand, Tcl/Tk is not generally used to author paint programs. --Jack Woehr, Dr. Dobb's Electronic Review of Computer Books
