Effective Tcl/TK Programming: Writing Better Programs with TCL and TK Paperback - 1997 - 1st Edition
by Mark Harrison; Michael McLennan
Take the next step with Tcl/Tk development with this practical programming style guide. The Tcl scripting language and the Tk toolkit together create a programming environment for creating graphical user interfaces under the X Window System and MS Windows 95/NT. This book offers a wealth of practical information on how to exploit the full potential of this remarkable programming environment.
From the rear cover
You need a graphical user interface, and it needs to run on multiple platforms. You don't have much time, and you're not a wizard with X/Motif, the Win32 GUI, or the Mac GUI. The project seems impossible, but with Tcl/Tk it's simple and fun.
The Tcl scripting language and the Tk toolkit create a powerful programming environment for building graphical user interfaces. With two lines of code you can create a simple button; with two hundred lines of code, a desktop calculator; and with a thousand lines of code, an industrial-strength groupware calendar and appointment minder. Your applications run on all of the major platforms: UNIX, Windows 95/NT, and Macintosh. You can even embed your programs in a Web page to make them available online.
Mark Harrison and Michael McLennan, two noted Tcl/Tk experts, combine their extensive experience in this practical programming guide. It is ideal for developers who are acquainted with the basics of Tcl/Tk and are now moving on to build real applications.
Effective Tcl/Tk Programming shows you how to build Tcl/Tk applications effectively and efficiently through plenty of real-world advice. It clarifies some of the more powerful aspects of Tcl/Tk, such as the packer, the canvas widget, and binding tags. The authors describe valuable design strategies and coding techniques that will make your Tcl/Tk projects successful. You will learn how to:
- Create interactive displays with the canvas widget
- Create customized editors with the text widget
- Create new geometry managers, like tabbed notebooks or paned windows
- Implement client/server architectures
- Handle data structures
- Interface with existing applications
- Package Tcl/Tk code into reusable libraries
- Deliver Tcl/Tk applications that are easy to configure and install
- Embed applications in a Web page
- Build applications that will run on multiple platforms
Throughout the book, the authors develop numerous applications and a library of reusable components. Learn from their approach, follow their strategies, and steal their code for your own applications! But don't bother retyping all of the examples.
