I am a novice X programmer. I started reading this news group well
before doing any programming to see if I could learn more about what
people were doing with X and how they were implementing their
applications. Now that I am really programming, I would like to know
more "secrets", the little bits of information that a good X
programmer uses everyday. These secrets would include bugs, workarounds,
nifty tricks, shortcuts, optimizations, best solutions, etc.
Has anyone been keeping such a list of secrets? I often see solutions
to programming problems posted here - is there a record or journal of
common problems people have come across? If there is not such a
journal, I'd like to call for secrets.
If you mail me your journal I will gladly combine them all and post
the list here. I think that many people are in the same position I am
- perhaps this list of secrets can help.
Opinions/secrets to strike.
