دانلود کتاب زبان برنامه‌نویسی Tcl – یک راهنمای جامع

Tcl was one of the first “dynamic” languages to become popular, seeing widespread use beginning with the early 90’s. Along with its accompanying graphical programming toolkit Tk, the language was influential enough for its inventor John Ousterhout to be conferred the ACM Software System Award in 1998. Since that time, Tcl has found its way into every application category you can imagine and Tcl deployments run the gamut from embedded devices to distributed back-end infrastructure. Yet, despite its wide use and adoption, Tcl has not gained the notoriety of the newer languages that have sprung up in the past few years. In large part this is because the Tcl community as a whole has never been particularly interested in evangelizing the language. This book hopes to remedy that by providing comprehensive coverage of Tcl 9, starting with the basics and continuing to the advanced facilities that distinguish the language. I have attempted to cover every single feature of language. However, space limitations do not permit inclusion of the myriad libraries and extensions to Tcl. Even the graphical toolkit Tk, which is associated so strongly with Tcl that most people refer to the two in conjunction as Tcl/Tk, is not included. It would double the size of the book by itself. For the same reason, the book also does not discuss the C programming interface to Tcl although ease of interfacing to C is one of the strengths of the language.
