Here you can find a brief list of Tcl or Tk related books.
I currently only list brief notes about some of the books - unfortunately
I removed a lot of info and pointed people over to the Tcl Consortium's
site.  Now that it is gone, I will be attempting to update my lists to make
them more complete.  I also list other books they didn't list.
Just a note - I currently don't work for any of these.  In some
cases, someone has contributed the description of their own books.
In most cases, I haven't even seen the book that's described - I just
am using the information from book catalogs, press releases, etc.
Another resource can be found at <URL: http://www.tcl.tk/ > and
their resource center.  Another source of info regarding Tcl books is
<URL: http://phaseit.net/claird/comp.lang.tcl/tcl_books.html >
Finally, Amazon.com encourages readers to submit reviews of books.

PLEASE!  If you read one of these books and find it good,
or bad, place your reviews on this site.  If you have a different
site you prefer, drop me a line and I will add a mention of that
book review site here as well.  This way I can attempt to avoid
it looking as if I hated or loved some particular book, but
instead can leave it to those buying the books to indicate how
good or bad a title is.

1. Title: Obfuscated C and Other Mysteries

This is not your typical programming book.  This book discusses programming
in the Unix environment in a humorous manner.  However, specific
solutions to issues are addressed.  Separate chapters on Tcl and Expect
are covered.

2. Title: Tcl and the Tk Toolkit
Author: John K. Ousterhout

Book's examples: <URL: ftp://ftp.tcl.tk/pub/tcl/doc/book.examples.Z >
Book supplement: <URL: http://www.tcl.tk/doc/tk4.0.ps >

	The book primarily covers Tcl 7.3 and Tk 3.6.  A German translation of
this book, titled _Tcl und Tk_, with the ISBN of 3893197931, is also
available.

	While the book is a good intro to Tcl, its basis on the older
Tk makes it difficult to use for some types of Tk development.
The tk4.0 porting guide postscript document with a few of the issues.
However, there have been many changes since Tk 3, particularly in
Tk 8's cross platform environment.

4. Title: Exploring Expect
Subtitle: A Tcl-Based Toolkit for Automating Interactive Applications
Author: Don Libes <URL: mailto:libes@nist.gov >
WWW book information: <URL: http://www.ora.com/catalog/expect/ >
Book's examples: <URL: ftp://ftp.cme.nist.gov/pub/subject/expect/example/ >
Errata: <URL: http://expect.nist.gov/errata >

For all of you who thought that the Expect man page was too long and too
terse at the same time, this book provides relief.  "Exploring Expect"
is an introduction and comprehensive tutorial to Expect.  Numerous
examples are provided and explained, demonstrating how to save you time
and money.  Example topics include how to write patterns, do signal
handling, use Expect as a telnetable daemon, and use Expect with Tk and
other Tcl extensions.

The book also includes an innovative introduction to Tcl - if you've
had trouble using Tcl before, all of a sudden, it will make a lot more
sense.  And while Exploring Expect concentrates primarily on using
Expect with Tcl, programmers attempting to automate interactive
programs using C, Perl, Python, or any other language will find this
book helpful because many of the concepts underlying Expect-like
programming are common to all languages.

Exploring Expect remains in the first edition.  There have only been a
few corrections and updates so they have been easily incorporated in
new printings.  The last time Don had to make any corrections was in the
third printing.

Exploring Expect was originally based on Tcl 7.3 and 7.4 alpha.
However, the book correctly describes 7.5 as well.  Almost all of the
recent changes in Tcl were under the cover - which is not the focus of
Don's book, so it is still accurate.

Interesting story time: Don only needed to make one change in the book
when Tcl 7.4 came out of alpha.  Tcl 7.4 added checking for overflow
which was something his random number generator didn't like.  So he
changed the constants in the 2nd printing to avoid this problem.
Later, Ousterhout got enough grief from people that he later changed
it back.  So it turned out that Don really hadn't needed to make any
changes to the book after all.

The book was also based on Tk 3.6 and Tk 4 alpha.  Don's book doesn't
go into enough depth on Tk that this really matters - in fact, he only
needed to mention a difference between Tk 3 and Tk 4 at one point.  So
the text is still accurate.  He does, however, have a lot of real code
and some of the Tk examples no longer work quite right because of the
way bind changed.  However, all of those examples come with the Expect
tar file and they are Tk4-ized, so it shouldn't be a significant
problem.  The text describing the examples is still correct.

Note that a new version of Expect is in testing for Tcl 8.0.  To get it,
check on the WWW home page for the beta version of Expect.

Paperback and CD-ROM which includes coverage of Web applications, Tclets, and
Tcl/Java interfacing. The CD-ROM features a Tcl plug-in for Netscape
browsers, plus Tcl, TclJava, and Jacl code, and a complete channel
driver written in Tcl.

The book will be covering all aspects of Web programming: from
server-side CGI scripting and microscripting through to client-side
Tclets and hyperpage scripting, with some general network programming
thrown in for good measure.

The author plans on including lots of example scripts, but probably not much C
code - this is 100% Pure Tcl(TM) - which will provide a coherent
collection of applications and libraries.  He'll also include examples
of code reuse; for server- and client-side processing of forms for
example.

The web site has online drafts of a number of chapters being written.

M. A number of other Linux related books mention Tcl at
least in passing.   See for instance
Running Linux <URL: http://www.ora.com/catalog/runux2/noframes.html > or
LINUX System Administration Handbook 1/e from 1998.
I've also seen other non-Linux specific books on topics such as web site
administration which mention Tcl in passing.  While the descriptions of
such books mention Tcl, typically, the coverage appears so small that I have
not bothered to add them to this list at this time.
A recent book mentioned is the Linux Programmer's Reference, by
Richard Petersen <URL: http://linuxcentral.com/products/book/progref/ >.
It covers the various languages available on Linux and includes a
quick reference for tcl and tk.
Linux in a Nutshell is another of these books.

N. Title: Linux Programming in Tcl/Tk

This book supercedes Database Backed Web Sites.  The book is 50%
longer, will have color photos, and covers more up to date topics.
Tcl still is featured as one of the major web programming languages.
Some readers may be offended by the arguments for Tcl though...

Associated with this book is a course syllabus (Cpsc 481: Human Computer
Interaction, The University of Calgary) in which Tcl books are
recommended reading for the course.  Some Tcl/Tk code is also referenced
in one of the chapters referenced online (Chapter 5-3).  I've not
had a chance to look at the book myself.

Covers Perl/Tk.

Other documentation includes:

1. Many people learn Tcl/Tk from reading the 'man' pages.  These files,
a part of the source code distribution, are mentioned in Dr. Ousterhout's
book as 'the reference manual'.  If the person who installed Tcl/Tk at
your site did a build of the executables and then ran the 'make install'
step described in the source code distribution, the man pages are probably
installed on your system in a directory.  Contact your system adminstrator
for more details.  Also, (see "part2") for a number of WWW resources
which provide additional information about many aspects of Tcl and its
extensions.  See the other FAQs mentioned in this document for additional
help, pointers to software examples, and other resources from which you
can draw help.  For instance, (see "bibliography/part1") for details
of published books, magazine and journal articles, proceedings papers, and
thesises relating to the Tcl family of languages.

2. For a list of free resources, (see "part3") which has an
entry for a variety of resources.

4. The USENIX Association <URL: http://www.usenix.org/ > not only
sponsors various conferences and workshops of possible interest to the
Tcl and Tk communities, but also offers the proceedings from those
sessions for sale to members.  See
<URL: http://www.usenix.org/cgi-bin/lookbib.pl?raw=false&TERMS=tcl > for
an example of just some of the articles that have been published by the
USENIX Association.

This book is intended for Python programmers who need to develop GUI driven
applications.  The examples should be portable between Windows and Unix.
The author states that the examples are larger useful applications rather
than smaller code fragments.  Other Python extensions are covered as well,
so the reader is given an idea of how to use Python to develop more
realistic applications.  The author expects to cover complex controls,
photo-realistic panels, browser/notebook/wizard/image map interfaces,
servers and CORBA, and more.  Tkinter is fullly documented.

"Tcl Dallas" was a non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of
the Tcl language along with its many extensions.  As a local users
group, "Tcl Dallas" supported the regional Tcl developer community by
hosting special events and providing a local forum for the discussion
of Tcl issues.  It is unknown whether this group continues to meet.
