Just what you need -- another programming language that promises to transform your Web site into an interactive multimedia powerhouse. But before you roll your eyes, consider this: Tcl/Tk, the new scripting language from the folks who gave us Java, not only adds interactivity and multimedia to Web pages, but it's also easy to use -- even for non-programmers. And Tcl/Tk For Dummies makes easy-to-use even easier. 
A practical, comprehensive reference, Tcl/Tk For Dummies introduces you to the language and what you can do with it. Authors Tim Webster and Alex Francis quickly get you up to speed writing your own tclets, compact programs that run within Web pages viewed in the Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer Web browsing programs. The authors spell out the language's simple syntax and present the commands, procedures, functions, variables, and other elements that make up Tcl/Tk. They also show you how to use widgets, convenient, ready-to-use components that you can add to your Tcl/Tk programs. In addition, Tcl/Tk For Dummies provides hands-on information on how to do things like <ul>
<li>Develop useful applications that run within a Web browser as if they were traditional, stand-alone programs running under a regular operating system</li> <li>Write platform-independent scripts that run on Windows, Mac OS, UNIX, and even on BeOS platforms</li> <li>Create animation and games to add value and fun to Web pages</li> <li>Improve your Web server's performance by shifting the burden from server-side CGI scripts to client-side Tcl/Tk scripts</li> </ul> Plus, the Tcl/Tk For Dummies CD-ROM includes the Mac and Windows Tcl/Tk 8.0 development software with Wish 8.0, and HTML editor, and plenty of sample code from the book.
