The following is a list of X references compiled from both from letters and from this newsgroup. I have included as much Publisher information as possible, though I suspect everyone here knows where Prentice Hall is... The commentary below, a compilation of prevalent opinion, is not necessarily my own. ______________________Clip and Save list of X Books 6-19-89__________________ *X Window System*, by Scheifler, Gettys & Newman, DEC Press The bible on X, included with the official X11R3 tape from MIT. This is the most complete published description of X programming interface (Xlib) and X protocol, other than the source code. Price $55.00 Acknowledge-To: <ENGP9043@NUSVM> ISBN 1-55558-012-2. DP order number EY-6737E-DP. Address 12 Crosby Drive, Bedford, MA. c. 1988. *Introduction to the X Window System*, by Jones, Prentice-Hall Not as complete as the above, but includes lots of excellent material on beginning and advanced X programming techniques. ISBN 0-13-499997-5 $27.95 "the O'Reilly books", by Nye and others, O'Reilly & Associates $60.00 I - XLIB System Programming manual ISBN 0-937175-26-9. II- XLIB Reference Manual ISBN 0-937175-27-7. III X Window User's Guide ISBN 0-937175-29-3. They do include lots of good "intro to window systems" and basic user-level stuff, though, so they're good for novice programmers and non-programmer users. Call 800-338-NUTS "The X Window System: Applications and Programming with Xt" by Douglas Young this book is supposed to be a fairly comprehensive tutorial on both Xt and Xlib. *Many* people recommend it. ISBN 0-13-972167-3 Prentice-Hall ordering is 201-767-5937. "X Window Applications Programming" by Johnson and Reichard ISBN 1-55828-016-2 MIS Press Portland OR (503) 282-5215 a *good* book at the C level. _______________________________________________________________________________ Special thanks to everyone who replied.
