These include:

• Tcl Tools. A few small but useful Tcl scripts. Some list handling procedures, some extra string handling procedures, and parseArgs, the procedure used to parse command line args in the Client-Server skeleton.

• Tree Widget: An enhancement of D. Richard Hipp's tree megawidget that includes:
  • Namespace and package support
  • Faster tree building (particularly on large trees)
  • Options to control how the widget behaves
  • Options to modify how the tree appears

• The Mega Dummy is a dummy megawidget skeleton that simplifies building custom megawidgets. This is the latest version of the script described in Tcl/Tk for Real Programmers

• This sample Tcl Extension is a dummy extension that provides examples of passing data and status between the Tcl interpreter and the C functions.

• Control: a Tk front-end to the BottleRocket X-10 Controller

• Client-Server Skeleton. These two scripts provide a simple outline for writing Tcl/Tk based client/server applications. The standard socket controls are here (opening a socket, waiting for input, etc), and you just add the code to process the data.

  Note: The client/server skeleton uses parseArgs from the Tools package.

• dlopen (slightly misnamed) loads a shared library that does not contain a xx_Init entry point on Windows on Linux platforms. This allows loading extensions that require other shared libraries to be resident before they can resolve their symbol tables.

• htmllib.tcl. This script was written by Steve Uhler while he was with Sun Labs. It's a pure Tcl html display package that is used in TclTutor, htmlview.tcl and TclPoint. This version supports the Tcl/Tk 8.0 and newer Font conventions and simple tables.

The example code from all of these articles is available here.

This book introduces the experienced programmer to the Tcl language and the Tk graphics extension to Tcl.

It received positive reviews from many readers.

Dr. Dobbs Electronic Review says: ...Flynt has produced what must be the quintessential Tcl/TK pedagogic presentation. The print book is first-rate technical writing. ... Flynt's 680 pages are organized, orderly, extensively cross referenced, well proofread and technically reliable... Dr. Dobbs Electronic Review of Computer Books

Email mentoring and on-line support is also available.

This package provides a short introduction to each of the Tcl commands, and an interactive example of how the command can be used. You can modify and rerun the examples to see just how the commands work.

The 40+ lessons can each be read in under 10 minutes, and then entire tutorial can be completed in a single day.

And it's Free!
