Starting with the basic features, it expands its scope to include the more advanced concepts, facilities and programming idioms from which the language derives its power. * Begin with the basics of Tcl syntax and commands for operating on data. * Get acquainted with the flexible and uniform execution model that enables metaprogramming, custom control structures etc. * Learn to modularize your code with namespaces, object-oriented design and packages. * See how intrinsic support for Unicode and encodings makes it a breeze to localize your applications. * Become conversant with the integrated event loop and how it facilitates efficient asynchronous I/O models and the reactive style of programming. * Delve into Tcl's sophisticated I/O framework and write your own reflected channels, transforms and virtual file systems. * Understand the built-in facilities for inter-process communication using pipes or the network. * See how concurrent programming facilities like coroutines and threads can simplify your code and make it more performant. * Learn how to secure your application through the use of safe interpreters for sandboxing. * Interact with databases through the Tcl Database Connectivity interface. * Discover how software distribution and installation headaches are eliminated with starkits and single file deployment. The breadth of coverage and numerous examples will familiarize newcomers to every aspect of Tcl programming. At the same time, the depth and level of detail, and an exhaustive index, make The Tcl Programming Language a valuable reference in every Tcl programmer's bookshelf. ====== **Discussion** ---- '''[arjen] - 2017-07-06 19:35:22''' Congratulations! It is a welcome addition to the Tcl library and a voluminous one at that :) ---- [bll] 2017-7-6 Looks very comprehensive. Looking forward to reading it. ---- [HolgerJ] Searching for the ISBN yields no results. It's not even on Amazon. 2017-07-09 This makes it quite difficult to get the PR machine rolling. [DKF]: Agreed [APN] Yes, sorry I cancelled that because I realized I better proof the final printed copy first. It will take about ten days to reach me so I expect the print version to be available last week in July. [ALX] 2017-07-09 17:45 Year! First! :-) "Well, thanks for your prompt purchase! You are the very first buyer of my book! /Ashok" [RLH]: Will there be a book/ebook bundle? [APN] Only if I can figure out the logistics. The PDF is distributed via gumroad and the print via CreateSpace/Amazon. I can't figure out a way for the latter to distribute the PDF as well. One alternative is to add the Kindle format but my experiments with it were not too encouraging. The listings, tables and figures just do not display well on Kindle. In addition their support told me the Kindle e-books will not support Japanese fonts (there are a few such in the book) unless built for the Japanese version of Kindle. So I'm still looking for a way to bundle. <> Book
