The Tcl/Tk programming language and toolkit are used widely in many

industries. Easy enough for even non-programmers to master, Tcl/Tk is

especially widely used in the automated test field, where thousands of

technicians create and use Tcl test scripts at companies ranging from Cisco,

Nortel, and AT and T to IBM, Intel, and Boeing.

Superbly clear, well organized, and co-authored by the creator of Tcl, this

classic tutorial remains the best way to learn and use Tcl/Tk. Now thoroughly

updated to reflect Tcl 8.5' significant enhancements in Tcl 8.5, this authoritative

Through extensive examples, readers will discover how to create window-based

applications with amazingly few lines of code; master Tk's powerful facility for

linking applications; and use features ranging from hypertext and hypergraphics

widgets to procedures, list management, and subprocess execution. This book

also contains unmatched coverage of Tcl/Tk's C interfaces, which permit

programmers to extend the language's built-in features by writing new C

commands.
