This note describes advanced TCL programming techniques that support sophisticated applications.

This note introduces the basics of Tcl. Chapter1 describes the fundamental properties of the language. Chapter 2 is a short introduction to running Tcl and Tk on UNIX, Windows and Macintosh systems. Chapter 3 presents a sample application, a CGI script, that implements a guestbook for a Web site. The rest of this book covers basic programming with Tcl.

The tutorial is intended as a companion to the Tcl manual pages which provide a reference for all Tcl commands.

Tcl is a scripting language created by John Ousterhout. It can be used interactively, or by running scripts (programs) which can use a package system for structuring, hence allowing to do much with little code. This book discusses the GUI toolkit Tk in considerable extent, even though it's not in the title. For most users, Tcl/Tk form a single conceptual entity.

Tcl/Tk provides an interactive development environment for building Graphical User Interface applications with incredible speed. Tcl/Tk applications look like they were constructed with the Motif toolkit, but they can be written in a fraction of the time. This PDF covers the following topics related to Tcl/Tk : Objects and Classes, Inheritance, Namespaces, Interactive Development, Autoloading, Adding C code to [INCR TCL] Classes, Simple Example, Inheritance and Composition, Building Applications with Mega-Widgets.
