If you don't have much time, and you're not a wizard with X/Motif, the Win32 GUI, or the Mac GUI, then Tcl/Tk is the solution. The authors develop numerous applications and a library of reusable components. Learn from their approach, follow their strategies, and steal their code for your own applications. You can download all the source code at the Effective Tcl/Tk Programming Web site: http://www.awl.com/cseng/books/efftcl/
Take the next step with Tcl/Tk development with this practical programming style guide.

This book offers a wealth of practical information on how to exploit the full potential of this remarkable programming environment.
Interactive Web Applications With Tcl/Tk; by Hattie Schroeder, et al - This book was written for novice programmers -- to introduce them to the ease and power of Tcl/Tk and to show how amazing Web applications, such as interactive Web applets, Web browsers, Web servers, autonomous agents, client/server databases, browser-pull, and server push applications can be quickly built using Tcl/Tk, without the developer having to get a degree in computer science (or grow old) in the process. All of the examples in the book will run identically, without modification, on Windows, Mac and UNIX systems. The book is also for all of us who bought Visual Basic in the early '90s, hoping to find an easy-to-use tool for building our own interactive applications, only to find that VB just gathered dust on our shelves because it was much more difficult to use than we had hoped. Tcl/Tk finally provides the solution that we've been looking for.

An associated toolkit called Tk allows you to quickly create graphical applications that can run on multiple platforms without delving into arcane subjects like Win32, QuickDraw, Object Linking and Embedding, Motif, and the X Toolkit Intrinsics. With a surprisingly small amount of code, you'll quickly create cross-platform graphical applications. This newly updated Graphical Applications with Tcl & Tk, Second Edition will teach you the basics of the syntax and show you how to start writing menus, opening dialog boxes, and loading GIF images. With a focus on portable cross-platform scripts, user interface style guides, and clear, practical examples, this book allows you to get the most out of Tcl/Tk.

Practical Programming in Tcl & Tk; by Brent B. Welch - The author writes great short programs to illustrate the features of Tcl. In particular one may point to pages 188-9, "The Echo Service." Another really short and useful program is on page 128, "URL Decoding." Without this book one might have thought that Tcl, like some other scripting languages, was verbose and opaque, but Welch shows how short and clear it is, and how powerful. Another really short and useful program is on page 128, "URL Decoding."
