Tutorial for building high-quality Tk (Tcl, Ruby or Perl) user interfaces.

• apu 18y ago
  This is relevant for python also (which comes with Tk in the standard installation), although the python specific documentation is better: http://infohost.nmt.edu/tcc/help/pubs/tkinter/ http://infohost.nmt.edu/tcc/help/pubs/tkinter/ However, in the past year and a half I've mostly eschewed desktop GUI frameworks for a standard html/js/css web interface with a python backend. It's more portable and a little bit more flexible (in some respects) with the ability to scale out to multiple simultaneous users (sometimes).

    The python specific documentation is a reference document not a tutorial and I think that tkinter is based in the old tk library not in ttk (the modern themed TK library). http://blog.tkdocs.com/2009/02/ttk-support-in-python.html http://blog.tkdocs.com/2009/02/ttk-support-in-python.html

      For python: http://docs.python.org/dev/library/ttk.html http://docs.python.org/dev/library/ttk.html

  This is awesome. Tutorials for GUI libraries are essential IMHO. It's so hard to dive into a huge thing like this without a guide. Thank you author(s). I really wish it told me how to package up complete (huge) binaries for Windows and Mac that would let me write Perl/Tkx programs. PAR alone wouldn't do I don't think.

    Tcl's starkits are a very nice way of packaging stuff up. You get Tcl, Tk, and some other stuff in a binary package that will run without any other junk. And they're relatively small, too, just a few megs, IIRC. I guess that doesn't help much with Perl, but you could always give it a go:-) Starkits: http://www.equi4.com/starkit/ http://www.equi4.com/starkit/
