With Perl\/Tk, you can build  Perl programs with an attractive, intuitive GUI  interface with all the power of Perl behind it.

The first half of  the book contains the basics on how to use Perl\/Tk,  and then branches out into advanced applications with  a series of extensive program examples. The result is  a book accessible for novices, and invaluable for  experienced programmers ready to learn the next step in  the elegant and effective use of Perl\/Tk.\nThe book includes:  *An introduction to each of the basic  Perl\/Tk widgets and geometry managers *A dissection of the MainLoop, including  how to use callbacks and bindings effectively *Coverage of the Tix widgets, an extended  set of widgets that are a part of the standard Perl\/Tk  distribution *Working with images in Perl\/Tk, including  bitmaps, pixmaps, photos, and how to compose a compound  image type *How to create custom mega-widgets in  Perl\/Tk, both composite and derived *Handling interprocess communication with  Perl\/Tk, both with standard Unix utilities (pipes and  sockets) and with the send command designed for direct  communication between Tk applications *Developing your own Tk widget in the  C language *Examples of web applications written with  Perl\/Tk and the LWP library  The book also includes appendices on installing  Perl\/Tk, a complete quick-reference for each standard  widget, and listings of all the extended examples in the book. Nancy Walsh is the author of Learning Perl\/Tk, and  Steve Lidie wrote the Perl\/Tk Pocket Reference  as well as a series of Perl\/Tk articles in The Perl  Journal.\nTogether, they have written Mastering Perl\/Tk  to be the definitive guide to Perl\/Tk.","brand":"O'Reilly Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54224857432408,"sku":"9781565927162","price":49.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781565927162.jpg?v=1765520126","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/mastering-perl-tk","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
