Experience is needed

This is a great book, but I wouldn't recommend it for an absolute beginner. The topics covered in the first chapter is a slight review of C++, then the author dives straight into the world of Motif. I highly recommend you are both familiar with Motif, Xlib, and C++ before reading this book. The author attempts to lower the learning curve, but object oriented programming with GUI development can never be made too easy. Within the last few chapters topic covered are more advanced classes and design of classes with the Xlib toolkit. I recommend this book as a quick way to tie together what you alredy know in Motif and C++. But would recommend you purchases the Motif reference manual along with this as the authore makes many references to commands and libraries which you may have probably long forgotten.
