Starting with the basic features, it expands its scope toinclude the more advanced concepts, facilities and programming idiomsfrom which the language derives its power. Begin with the basics of Tcl syntax and commands for operating ondata. Get acquainted with the flexible and uniform execution model thatenables metaprogramming, custom control structures etc. Learn to modularize your code with namespaces, object-orienteddesign and packages. See how intrinsic support for Unicode and encodings makes it abreeze to localize your applications. Become conversant with the integrated event loop and how itfacilitates efficient asynchronous I/O models and the reactive styleof programming. Delve into Tcl's sophisticated I/O framework and write your ownreflected channels, transforms and virtual file systems. Understand the built-in facilities for inter-process communicationusing pipes or the network. See how concurrent programming facilities like coroutines andthreads can simplify your code and make it more performant. Learn how to secure your application through the use of safeinterpreters for sandboxing. Interact with databases through the Tcl Database Connectivityinterface. Discover how software distribution and installation headaches areeliminated with starkits and single file deployment. The breadth of coverage and numerous examples will familiarizenewcomers to every aspect of Tcl programming. At the same time, thedepth and level of detail, and an exhaustive index, make The TclProgramming Language a valuable reference in every Tcl programmer's library.
