I’ve recently launched a website to help people learn and use Tk,  
including a tutorial, mini-reference, additional background information  
and more. Two things I hope will make this both unique and useful.

First, the site is trying to help share information across the different  
language communities that use Tk. But that doesn’t mean it’s so general  
it’s useless. The tutorial, examples and so on are all done up for  
multiple languages (you choose while viewing). The first two are Tcl  
and Ruby, with others to follow.

Second, the information is about the latest version of Tk, which has  
major improvements to it that help do away with most of the ugliness Tk  
has been known for. But you need to learn a few new things to take  
advantage of all that. So the site will both help new users get off on  
the right foot, and help existing Tk developers learn about how to take  
advantage of the new stuff.

You can find the site at:  
[http://www.tkdocs.com](http://www.tkdocs.com)

While it’s not yet complete, it’s pretty far along and expanding  
quickly. All comments, suggestions, corrections and offers of help are  
most gratefully appreciated!

Thanks  
Mark
