[The fourth edition] "is an exceptionally easy way to start out in this language, although it must be said that some prior coding knowledge is an advantage when working through it. 8/10"

"Inexperienced programmers won't have a problem learning Tcl from [the third edition of this] book, but its size can be intimidating, and admittedly, there are better books for beginners. ... Nevertheless, I would recommend [this book] for all ... Tcl programmers, novices and gurus alike."
