I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the soon to be released, long-awaited
second edition of John Ousterhout's original "Tcl and the Tk Toolkit",
updated by Ken Jones and others.

It's now posted as a "Rough Cut" (incomplete preview, still in
development) on O'Reilly's Safari service:

I see what you mean by incomplete Mark. When I followthe link I get a
completely blank book ;-)

What do you mean? Click on any topic under Table of Contents and you
get a good portion of the chapter. If you want to read more, there
are links to payment/registration where you get full access.


Mark, thanks for the link.

There is something interesting about this "Rough Cut" title because I
am not able to really see anything, although I do have a proper Safari
Bookshelf account (through ActiveTcl Pro Studio). It says it requires
premium access ... but I can add any regular book??

Here's what I did when I visited the URL

1. click on the "Start Reading" link.
2. Click on the "Next >" button
3. Begin reading the introduction

I typically don't have any special plugins, etc. installed here, but
it seems to work for me.

I should be clear ... I can view all the chapter headings and such,
but there is no real content to those chapters seemingly available
when you try and drill down.
