Re: TCL TK

tcl/tk is popular b/c it is portable scripting language commonly found in tools/processing programs. For ex. Xilinx EDA uses it heavily. It is also found in some academic research.

TK is just a simple gui for TCL. if you already know TCL then picking up tk is easy, just look at some of the examples that the tcl/tk document provide.

Sry, i don't have a book for you. But, here is a very good tutorial that i used when i was learning.
