About three weeks from now, I will be finishing a cookbook of *simple* examples for Xv11. These will be the annotated lab exercises from a course that I'm teaching at Project Athena for beginning application developers. The course is designed to get someone started with X and the Xtoolkit. The basic idea is to get people to the point where they can do a relatively normal application; they will then be able to use the manual to do more complex programs. As such, the course and the cookbook are slanted towards putting windows up, using graphics contexts, drawing text, and the such. I'm not sure yet how the cookbook will be distributed. It will be most likely available through anonymous ftp, and unfortunately, it will be too long to post to the net. I'd like it to be a Working Paper from Project Athena; we're trying to set up such a series. In any case, I will post again to the net when it is ready. If you have any comments, I would like to hear them. But, please, *please* do not mail requests for the paper to me as that will just slow things down.
