Browse www.motifzone.com. Although focused on Motif, it includes lots of
info and tutorials on X too.

Best:
Get the 1st two volumes of the X set from O'Reilly...
Volume 1 is the programming manual for X
Volume 2 is the Xlib Reference manual

If you really want to get extreme you could get:
Volume 0 the X Protocol book
There's alsoi a Programmers' supplement for Release 6.
The other books are mostly for Motif programmers.

I have actually written a tiny little X Introduction, based on
knowlege I've gleaned from X newsgroups, Vol1 of the X series, and
a book called the Joy of X. (What an oxymoron.) It's not quite done
yet, but may be useful to some people. I'm trying to find out if
the information in there is 100% accurate (though somewhat
oversimplified). You can check it out at:

You really don't want to do that...

Quote:>and how do I do Hello World in X

Get the first couple volumes of the Xlib Reference Manuals and the
Xlib Programming Manual from O'Reilly.

There's sources for a "hello world" program in a little intro to X11 I
wrote a while back:
