Everything you always wanted to know about X...,
This review is from: X Protocol Reference Manual : Volume Zero for X11, Release 6 (Definitive Guide to X (Paperback)
This book reveals X at its most raw: the underlying bytestream that is truly X. If you've been confused by GUI toolkits and widgets galore, this book will strip away everything that isn't part of the core concepts that you need to know to understand what happens during an X session.This book is not for the faint of heart, however. If you're wondering about learning how to write an X application, this book is probably not for you. This book is a good reference for implementors of X servers and X libraries; it may also be of some use to advanced X application programmers that need a reference for debugging purposes.

What makes X tick,

This review is from: X Protocol Reference Manual : Volume Zero for X11, Release 6 (Definitive Guide to X (Paperback)
This is a great book. I am using the knowledge gleaned from this book to manage windows for a product platform using Java to talk directly to the XServer via the protocol. I knew almost nothing about X but had great deal of experience with other UI Toolkits. Within a few months I had a deeper and more satisfying understanding of X and its capabilities. Not for the faint of heart, but perfect for the inquisitive programmer...
