Computing Graduate

After you've studied a couple 3GL system language's and played with Perl & scripting. This is one of my favourite computing books. Understand computing concepts, (Tcl probably isn't too good for random beginners or people who just don't like the paradigm). If you're into computing and want. . , then go for this one.

When you are the only person on campus doing-knowing any Tcl / Tk, you had better get the right book.

I mailled Brent with a question and sure enough he got back to me. (try that with Lara Lemay).

So for such a good book and service - 5 star award.

Great tcl/tk book
With it's help I actually made programms for which I got money:-). Although I'm manly progrmming in perl, this tcl/tk book is an example of a great textbook and manual for a programming languange.

Renewed impressions...
Although there are some gripes that could be made, I find the book indespensible. (This is a followup to my commentary in May) I've used Welch's book extensively for Tcl/Tk work for some months now. It is perched on top of my monitor, and use it daily (hourly?).

As for the binding. . . The people at Amazon were amazing. They were kind and generous enough to replace my crumbling copy. Mr. Welch, the author, then also complained to the publisher on behalf of all the readers, and I understand that they will be offering a lay-flat binding in the November printing! My hats off to everyone. I'm deeply impressed.
