[comp.windows.x] X books -- Jones vs. Nye

whm@sunquest.UUCP (Bill Mitchell) (02/21/89)

Can anyone offer comments about the comparative merits of the Xlib programming
books by Oliver Jones and Adrian Nye?  Our interest is which is the better
book for learning to use X, as opposed to which is the better reference.

I've taken a brief look at both books and I can't say that either clearly
stands out above the other, aside from Jones book apparently having been
printed directly from material produced on a low-resolution laser printer.
