Product Description
The Tcl language and the Tk graphical toolkit are simple and powerful building blocks for sophisticated applications. The Tcl/Tk combination is increasingly popular because it lets you produce sophisticated graphical interfaces with a few easy commands, develop and change scripts quickly, and conveniently tie together existing utilities or programming libraries. A companion volume to Tcl/Tk in a Nutshell, the Tcl/Tk Pocket Reference is a handy reference guide to the basic Tcl language elements, Tcl and Tk commands, and Tk widgets. It provides easy access to just what you need and includes easy-to-understand summaries of Tcl/Tk language elements. Covers Tcl Version 8 and Tk Version 8.

3 out of 5 stars I keep going back to Ousterhout   February 23, 2006
This reference is good if you are only looking for syntax or available options to a command you understand.

If you have questions about the way the commands work, or the concepts behind them (what is a list?) then you'll find that you keep going back to the larger books.

So I am currently in Ousterhout for most of my questions and then opening this infrequently to check syntax.

I think it could have had a more extensive index and I cannot see any order in the table of contents.



5 out of 5 stars A lot of info in a small package.   February 14, 2004

These pocket reference guides pack an amazing amount of information. In my opinion, this book (along with other pocket references) are better than some full sized books. One thing I like about this book is that it goes straight to the point. For example, I wanted to look up the after command. So, in a few seconds I find the description, and I immediately learn the syntax for this command. There is no long description or theory to read through, the bulk of what you need to know is right there. Anybody who is in to TCL/TK should get this book!


3 out of 5 stars Good if you like such things...   March 20, 2001

If it's important to you to have a quick reference in paper form, then by all means this is the book for you. It's technically accurate. It is getting a bit out of date, but Tcl has an excellent track record for maintaining upward compatibility. You may miss out on new features, but you won't be led too far astray.

If, on the other hand, you're comfortable with browsing the manual on-line, then save your money. There's little in this book that isn't also in the on-line manuals that come with Tcl/Tk, and you can be certain that the on-line manual matches the Tcl/Tk release that you're using.


4 out of 5 stars Tcl/Tk Pocket Reference   April 5, 2000
The Tcl/Tk Pocket Reference is a good basic guide to the Tcl syntax. The text is a simple straight-forward listing of the different Tcl terms, their functions and their signatures, alphabetized by category.
