Summary: Yup, this is it...
Comment: This book explains most everything you need to know about Motif. The manual pages will cover the rest. The book is self-contained, and unless you are really interested in low-level details, there is little reason to purchase the Xlib and Xt books. Motif is mostly self-contained, and the few Xt and Xlib-calls you need to make is described in this manual (and they also have manpages).

Of course, if you are writing a new application today, you might be wiser and go with a modern toolkit like GTK or Qt, but for the maintenance programmer (aren't we all?), this book still has lots of value.

Summary: Excellent and throrough guide to Motif
Comment: I received this book for Christmas last year (nothing like O'Reilly in your stocking to make for a good Christmas!) and didn't get a chance to start it until a few weeks ago. I am now about halfway through and I must say that this is an excellent book! It is well-written, interesting, and thorough. The example programs are all extremely helpful assisting the reader in understanding the subject matter. Now that Motif has become open sourced, I urge all Linux and UNIX developers to pick up a copy of this book and give Motif programming a try!
