[comp.windows.x] What are THE books to have on X?

jbm@uncle.UUCP (John B. Milton) (06/13/89)

Assuming I want to do everything with X, port it to SYSV (UNIXpc), write
server code, write applications, use it, etc. Assuming I have all the docs
from the X.V11R3 distributions. What are the books to get. I went out to the
bookstores hoping to find several to choose from and found NONE!

A new book on X will be on the streets within the next few weeks.  It's
called "The X Window System: Applications and Programming with Xt", and
it's by Doug Young at HP Labs.  I've been reviewing multiple drafts of
this book for the last year, and it really looks good (I think it's
better than the Jones book).  Do give it a look-see.

It's published by Prentice Hall, I don't know the ISBN...
