Mark - the tutorial and the rest of this web site is just great.
Congratulations, and thank you so much for taking the initiative.

I have been ruminating on how to bring a group of developers, who are
using a version of tcl/tk that is 5+ yrs old, up to speed. And of the
many areas of improvement, the Tk 8.5 widgets are probably the area
about which I was most concerned. It looks, to me, as if this will be
a great place to have existing developers read.

Now, I hope you don't mind, but I wanted to mention an editorial nit.
Today (Jan 17, 2008) I began reading the tutorial and noticed this
sentence, about 3 paragraphs after the tcl/tk ruby/tk examples of
using grid with .c.feet, .c.meters, and .c.calc:


If the widgets are just created, they won't automatically show up on
screen, because Tk doesn't
how you want them to be placed relative to other widgets.

I suspect that the word "know" is missing after "Tk doesn't"...
