2007-06-10 The original but no longer the best

This is a good example of a language intro and is the original guide to Tcl/Tk. As such it is a good tutorial and explains the rationale behind Tcl/Tk. However its now very old and much of the content has become, if not actually outdated, at least partially so since Tcl/Tk has developed and new features added. This book could lead the reader to try to build something that already exists in industrial quality elsewhere. However team this book with a more modern text such as the O'Reilly Nutshell guide or Welsh's book and it's a good starter in Tcl/Tk.
