Tcl/Tk Study Group Study Schedule
Breakdown: The reading assignments for the first four meetings will
discuss the language constructs of TCL. This is a prerequisite for the
more interesting stuff, Tk, which will be scheduled for the next
3 meetings. After that, we will be reading a on TCL/Tk/C interactions
for the last 3 meetings.
Not every chapter in the book will be covered. If desired, we can have two
more meetings to cover additional material or to work on larger assignments.
