                        NEW BOOK ON X WINDOW PROGRAMMING

Advanced X Window Applications Programming
Eric F. Johnson and Kevin Reichard
MIS: Press, 1990

ISBN 1-55828-029-4

This book carries on where our previous X Window Applications Programming 
left off. It covers more advanced Xlib topics in depth, including a very long
section on the ICCCM, properties and selections--some of the most difficult
topics in Xlib programming. All examples are in C and use the
Xlib. (We also introduce the SHAPE extension in Section V.) This book
assumes you know how to program in C and have some experience
programming with the X library.

Our books are full of source code examples that show how the concepts 
introduced in each chapter actually work.  Kevin Reichard and I both
believe that it is a lot easier to learn how to program something
when you have a lot of working programs as examples. Our books are not
treatises on Xlib, instead, we focus on what you really need to know (IMHO).
So, you won't get a description of every single Xlib call. What you will
get is a description of the most commonly-used (and most important) calls,
as well as how to put together working Xlib programs.
