I am getting started using X Windows and Motif and would like recommendations on some good books for learning my way around the X Toolkit. Preferably with some good commented code examples. I will summarize and post, if there is interest. Mark Osbourne mead!maddog!marko@uccba.uc.edu fac5@dayton.saic.com

Preferably >with some good commented code examples. First, take a course. The ICS Motif course is a good one. I use the following constantly: * Motif Programmer's Guide - good code examples, figures are still in the back on the copies we got from ICS :^( Otherwise, this is a GOOD Xt programmer's book. * Motif Prog's Ref Guide - The printed Man pages. * XtIntrinsics - C Language Interface which comes from MIT with X11R3. Very poor on its own, but a good reference to get detail which may be missing in the Motif dics (that is rare - the Motif docs are the best X docs I've seen). * O'Reilly & Assoc Xlib Reference Manual, vol 2. * C programming Language by K&R (of course). Tutorials given at Xhibition were also generally useful.
