This book is probably essential to anyone wishing to utilize the X Window System; however, as a contributer to XFree86, I still find this book useful, though it was not rewritten specifically to be a contributers guide.
Covers Xlib, ICCCM, and XLFD. X Protocol coverage has been split into a book called X Window System: Core and Extension Protocols. The other book in this three part series is titled X Window System: Extension Libraries.
