Motif Programming
By A. D. Marshall
This book introduces the fundamentals of Motif programming and addreses wider issues concerning the X Window system. The aim of this book is to provide a practical introduction to writing Motif programs. The key principles of Motif programming are always supported by example programs.
The X Window system is very large and this book does not attempt to detail every aspect of either X or Motif. This book is not intended to be a complete reference on the subject.
The book is organised into logical parts, it begins by introducing the X Window system and Motif and goes on to study individual components in detail in specific Chapters. In the remainder of this Chapter we concentrate on why Motif and related areas are important and give a brief history of the development of Motif.
