Integrated Computer Solutions, Inc. provides X training, support, and

We (IXI Limited) do formal X training. We have two standard courses: the
Strategic Overview (XSO) and the Programmers' Workshop (XPW).
The XSO is a one day seminar for senior executives, development managers,
marketing and sales staff, and others who want to know how their business will
be affected by the growing popularity of X. It does not go into technical
details, and is updated frequently to keep up with the market situation.
The XPW is a four day hands-on course for C programmers, teaching use of Xlib
and Xt, covering everything that a total X novice needs to become a competent
X programmer.
Both courses are given regularly at our Cambridge training centre and at
customer sites (this includes other European countries and North America).
Courses can be tailored to individual customer requirements.
In addition, we provide "one-off" training courses on specific subjects, and
can provide speakers and consultants for projects of any size, from half a
day upwards.

ICCCM Tutorial synopsis:
This tutorial covers the Inter-Client Communication Conventions recently
adopted by the X Consortium as a part of the core X standard. The
conventions are examined from a client developer's perspective.
Attendees will learn the responsibilities of a portable, cooperative X
client, how window and session managers might respond to client actions,
and how to properly design and code a cooperating X client. Conventions
covered include selections, communication of multilingual text, resource
names, manipulating windows, icons, and popups, handling input focus,
input devices, and colormaps, and starting and stopping windows, clients,
and sessions. The R4 ICCC changes in the Xlib and X toolkit intrinsics
programmatic interfaces are described. A simple ICCCM-compliant
Xlib client is presented as an example.

From: carroll@osf.org
The Open Software Foundation is currently offering a 5 day programming
course for OSF/Motif at customer sites only. The course uses a case approach!
60% of the class time is spent working on laboratory exercises. During the
course the students are required to contruct two applications piece by piece.
Starting with putting a single widget on the screen, each lab adds additional
information the student needs to know to construct the next step in the
application. The students will end up with a fairly sophisicated graphics
application and another that is text-based.
Included with the 350 page student guide is the 5 OSF/Motif manuals
published by Prentise Hall are given to each student.

I teach a two-day course covering the fundamentals of the X Toolkits.
Students learn how the toolkits are organized and how they can be used
to rapidly develop X-based user interfaces. Although several toolkits
are mentioned and briefly compared, including Motif and XView, the
course concentrates on the X Intrinsics and the Athena Widget set.
Topics include: some background on X; terminology from object-oriented
programming; the resource manager and user preferences; the X
Intrinsics; using widgets; the Athena Widget set; building widgets;
and other available widgets and toolkits.
This course is offered on-site as well as at public tutorials.

I teach a two-day, in-depth course covering the fundamental concepts,
terminology, and capabilities underlying the X Window System. In
particular, I give a complete tour of the C interface, Xlib. Students
gain an understanding of the many important issues faced when
designing and writing X applications. The course is well organized
with a proven track record; it includes lectures notes consisting of
over 500 slides. A detailed syllabus of the course is given below.
The course is offered both privately, at your site, or publicly.
