Better get a Book of Brent Welche instead!
Half of the book consists of a Tcl/Tk introduction, better explanations are found in other books. Forget this book. Tcl/Tk code builds the other half, and Tcl/Tk code examples are available for free on the net. The toolbox they use in their examples hides all the real information you would need to understand the examples. But that's not given.

If you really want to learn about Tcl/Tk refer to the books of Brent Welch. There you will find a lot of examples and, in case you need more Tcl/Tk source code to learn something, look at the applications available (f. e. at Scriptics. com).

Good demos
It's nice for a change to see really useful example programs, instead of the usual enginerdish foobar stuff. I really liked the example code.

Excellent introduction to Tcl/Tk
The example of the pure Tcl PointCast clone was absolutly incredible! The Spynergy Toolkit library makes it surprisingly easy to put together these sorts of apps, without much fuss. I've read a lot of introductory computer books that have left me after reading with the question "now what?" This book definitely answers that question.
