Lurnix, the Unix education company, announces two new classes: Using
the X Window Environment, and User Interface Programming with the X
Toolkit. Both classes are offered on-customer-site only, and can be
taken together or separately.
The X Window Environment class lasts one day. The client should
provide the workstations for the class, ideally one per student,
running Unix with X11. (See below if you do not have X11 installed.)
This course teaches students how to use the X Window system to improve
their productivity as Unix users and programmers, including: use of a
standard window manager; customization of key and mouse action
bindings; learning of available X programs and documents; and
decryption of MIT documentation with some slight understanding.
The User Interface Programming class lasts from 3 days to a
week, depending on equipment availabilty and client's selection of
advanced topics. The client should provide the workstations for the
class, ideally one per student, running Unix with X11. This course
teaches students how to build applications using the X toolkit in the C or
Lisp programming languages, including: writing simple window and menu
oriented user friendly applications; acquiring a working knowledge of
basic object oriented and event driven programming concepts; surveying and
understanding available toolkit sets (Athena, HP, SONY, CLUE); customising X
widgets (X user interface entities); assisting the MIT X Consortium in the
debugging of the X toolkit.
Every enrolled student will receive copies of relevant MIT
documentation, as well as custom LURNIX tutorial matter, and online
examples (configuration files for the Environment class, programming
examples for the Interface class).
If you do not have an up-to-date version of X currently installed, as an
additional service, LURNIX can install X on appropriate equipment.
