Does anyone have any experience with the Hand on Learning Inc. training tapes for X windows. I believe they have a Unix series as well.

I'm replying to your query about the X Videotape set. I'm particularly qualified to do so, since I wrote them! Hands On Learning sells two Volumes of X tapes: *An Intro to X*, for folks who are entirely new to X11, and *Programming Xlib*, a soup-to-nuts course on programming Xlib. The products consist of 6 hours of videotape, floppies that include a pile of Xlib source that is examined on the tape and modified by the user in lab exercises, workbooks (include the entire script), and the appropriate O'Reilly books. We also have UNIX and C tapes, and resell various DOS tapes. Motif is under development. All have been very well received - people like them! Since it is inappropriate to use the net for advertising, I'll leave it at that. However, for more info & demo tape (no charge), call 1-800-875-9133. Colin (*I* think they're good, anyway!)
