"The Tcl Programming Language" by Ashok P. Nadkarni

[Alex P]

Hi all!

Can you give me a hint how to send to Ashok P. Nadkarni a message about his wonderful "The Tcl Programming Language"?

Or better hint please, is there a forum discussing this great book?

I think any improving remarks would be appreciated by the respected author.

For example, on page 601 of the book there are some issues:
1) "foreach" should be instead of "allrows" (in RESULTSET, STATEMENT, DBCONN lines)
2) STATEMENT line should be ended as "... ?--? VAR ?DICT? SCRIPT"
3) DBCONN line should be ended as "... ?--? VAR SQL ?DICT? SCRIPT"

Ashok noramlly reads here, receives E-Mails and is on Tcl-Chat.

Yes, thanks for the correction. Almost all of the actual executable
scripts in the book are executed automatically at book production time
and thus free of errors. The syntax descriptions, like above,
unfortunately are not and depend on my not-so-eagle-eye for proofreading :-(

I appreciate your taking the time to report.

Hi,

Purchased your book almost as soon as it became available. How does one obtain corrections\additions, if any.

Please advise.

I'd got here in Voronezh obl., Russia, your book (printed in USA, Middletown, DE, 25 July 2018) in a month after request. Continuously fascinated by the book, esp. while resolving a question from time to time.

Thank you a lot!
