[vtkusers] Teaching VTK with TCL/TK

[Gummadi Sreenivas]

If you have decided on TCL to script VTK (and not python, which (IMHO) is a
better teaching language):

For computer scientists this online TCL tutorial is short and sweet:
http://www.arsdigita.com/books/tcl/

Here is an excerpt from its preface: 

"...We hope that a professional programmer or MIT student can breeze through
it in one evening. By the end of the evening, that person should have
learned Tcl, learned a little something about the Web, and not have been
bored. 

It is available on the Web at a permanent URL. If you don't like it, the
authors will happily refund your purchase price. :-)"
