Academic Press re-brands the second edition of ''[BOOK Tcl/Tk for Real Programmers]'' under the title above. As of fall 2003, it's Elsevier (!) which now owns distribution [http://www.elsevier.com/inca/publications/store/6/8/0/6/5/7/680657.pub.htt#top]. Authored by [Clif Flynt]. ---- Is this book now available? [CF] Yes - the book has been out since June 2003. I took a few copies to Tcl-2003-E and sold several copies at Tcl'2003 US. ---- [LV] What do you people who own this book think of it? Does it meet your expectations? I did a little technical editing of the drafts, though I haven't seen a finished copy of it yet. But it seemed to me to provide an alternative to the Welch book if that book overwhelms the reader. [CL]'s written a review, due to appear in October 2003, which says the same, 'cept in more words. ---- [Joe Mistachkin] I own the book. I've read quite a bit of it. Very good all-around coverage. It seems to be geared toward people just getting started rather than the "reference manual" style of Brent's book (which I happen to have all 4 editions of). ---- [Category Book]
