I agree that this is an excellent resource.

I find Welch's book and the on-line tcl/tk help very helpful for Tkinter 
programming--especially some of the more obscure details. But to use 
either of these resources comfortably you must learn the basics of 
Tkinter first (including understanding the simple mapping between 
Tkinter and Tcl/Tk).

For learning the basics of Tkinter I suggest the links that Kevin listed 
above and/or Alex Martelli's "Python in a Nutshell" (an excellent 
reference in any case). Grayson's book is another reasonable alternative 
(and includes enough reference material to keep you from having to refer 
to the tcl/tk documentation very often).
