Adrian Zimmer was raised in Nebraska and lived in Canada, Denmark, and Iran as well as South Carolina, Oklahoma, North Dakota, and Massachusetts. Educated through a postdoc in mathematics, his publications include two books Tcl\/Tk for Programmers, I.E.E.E. Computer Society Press, 1998 and  Abstraction for Programmers, McGraw Hill, 1985.  This introduction to Tcl\/Tk bridges the gaps between introductions, comprehensive manuals, and collections of scripts that solve particular problems. There are over 200 exercises with solutions that run on both Unix and Windows platforms.  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTcl\/Tk for Programmers\u003c\/i\u003e is an introduction to the high-level Tcl\/Tk scripting language for experienced programmers with either Unix or Windows background.

Tk is an extension, developed by the creator of Tcl, used for creating scripts that interact with users through windows. After version 8.0\/8.0, the unusually fast development of Tcl\/Tk has slowed to a more normal pace. \u003ci\u003eTcl\/Tk for Programmers\u003c\/i\u003e covers this version while describing its major differences with the previous version 7.6\/4.2 and the experimental alpha version 8.1\/8.1 Zimmer has extensive knowledge of Tcl\/Tk programming and currently runs a consulting and training company based on his experience.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-IEEE Computer Society Pr","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47990133883109,"sku":"NP9780818685156","price":120.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780818685156.jpg?v=1761786631","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/tcl-tk-for-programmers-isbn-9780818685156","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
