More on TCL/TK than web programming
Instead I was looking for a book on TCL/Tk 8. If I had picked up this book for web programming I would have been very disappointed as only the last chapter covers this.0 or later and this acts as a very good introduction. All of the sample code is built-up line by line and worked through repeatedly; This might get wearying, but it is much clearer than other books on TCL I have read. You do not need a laptop to work though the examples when reading the book on a bus either.

Beginner book on TCL/TK - very little web programming
The title suggets that the book covers tcl programs for the web. I was very disappointed in this book. I was expecting sockets, http, ftp, etc. . There is a total of 4 pages that deals with sockets. Some good coverage on tclets but minimal. The vast majority of the book (90%) deals with the various widgits in tk and tcl programming constructs. A good book for beginners to tcl/tk but very little on web development.
