Learn TCL in 21 days or less

Suddenly I am interested in the tcl scripting language. Does anybody know a good website to learn the rudimentaries.

TCL is a fun language...not as fun as Perl though. ;) Try this site .

Hello,

I have not done TCL script programming before, though I do believe the following links can help you:
Practical Programming in Tcl and Tk
Tcl/Tk Information
Tcl/Tk Tutorial
TCL Electronic Reference *pdf file
I can provide additional links if need be.

I wouldn't use either tcl or perl; I use the shell.

If the shell is not enough for you, learn Python. Tcl doesn't have the capabilities of a real programming language, and Perl is a write-only language: its scripts are either bloated or incomprehensible.

I'd be happy if I could even get TCL to work. I thought I had installed it, and I thought NetBeans had installed it too, but I just keep getting an error about some missing .so (library) file that's not even on the hard drive. Makes no sense to me..
