Description : To start, this book is not an Xlib book. Xlib is much too low-level for application writers.Instead, this book addresses the layer of development referred to as the Xt Intrinsics. This
is a higher level of interaction with the X Window System than Xlib. It is based on a
notion called object-oriented programming, and can greatly increase your productivity as
you develop X Window clients. This book is a practical guide to Xt, and can be used as a
source for application examples. It covers topics that are useful to the many application
programmers who need education in developing with the Intrinsics.
The audience for this book is anyone who wants to develop Xt-based X Window clients. It
is written with the end-user application writer in mind, so the style is straightforward and
direct. No complicated, technically confusing, “beat around the bush” verbage! The
assumption is that the reader is not creating four-dimensional cyberspace artifical-reality
applications. Instead, the reader develops applications that are based on end-user requests
(those erratic “need it yesterday” specifications). These people have little time to discuss
“byte splitting” or the challenges involved in piping instructions to UNIX utilities. They
need answers now.
