[comp.windows.x] Learning X

ari@kolmogorov.physics.uiuc.edu (08/01/89)

I would like suggestions on books and/or articles which would be
appropriate for a beginner in X-windows, X-lib and X-toolkit.
There are several machines appearing in our building with
X-windows, and in the future, we may get X-windows for
our Sun's (or they will give it to us!)

Please e-mail suggestions, if there are sufficient answers, I
will post a summary.

Thanks,

ari

I have a friend who is just hankering to learn X.  I told him that I'd
ask the people on this group what suggestions they had for learning
how to do it, and so here I am.

What's the best way to get somebody started on X?  He's got a fairly
good background in C.  Names of books are fine, as are on-line
documentation, suggestions on code samples, etc...

Please send to me at portnoy@athena.mit.edu as this group gets enough
traffic as is.  If there is interest I'll post a summary.
