XView Programming Manual
By Dan Heller
The one thing that outside observers of the X phenomenon always ask is:
"Where are the applications?" The answer: under development.
But the fact is that there are already over 2100 vertical applications
for SunView, Sun's proprietary windowing system. These applications can
be ported to X with a minimum of effort using Sun's new XView toolkit.
XView is an easy-to-use toolkit, not just for Sun developers. Yes, XView
is available from Sun as part of Sun's Open Windows package. (Buyers of
Open Windows will receive the XView Programming Manual as standard
documentation.) However, XView is also available on MIT's R4 tape for
all three Sun workstation families and DECstation 3100. XView is also a
part of System V Release 4.
If you are wondering if XView is for you, ordering this book is a good
place to start. The manual provides complete information on the XView
toolkit, from concepts to creating XView applications, and includes a
reference section, covering all of the XView functions and attributes.
672 pages ISBN 0-937175-52-8

The X Window System in a Nutshell
Edited by Tim O'Reilly & Daniel Gilly
Once programmers have mastered the concepts behind X and learned how to
program in Xlib and Xt...there are still a mass of details to remember.
The X Window System in a Nutshell fills this gap. Experienced X
programmers can use this single-volume desktop companion for most common
questions, keeping the full X Window System Series of manuals for
detailed reference.
380 pages, ISBN 0-937175-24-2
