Have a look at the comp.lang.c Frequently Asked Questions, the alt.comp.lang.learn.c-c++ FAQ, Unix Programming Frequently Asked Questions, Secure UNIX Programming FAQ, and the many links from http://www.rahul.net/kenton/xsites.html Maybe C++ FAQ LITE will be useful too. (Use google to find these.) A "X Window System Programming" (SAMS) book may be useful. I also have a "UNIX Systems Programming for SVR4" (D A. Curry) book that is useful (but not X related). Plus a few others, like "Linux Programmer's Reference" which has chapters on autoconf/automake, gnome, kde, qt2, glib, gtk+, and more programming topics. (I have this, and this is my reminder to read it!) Also, using manual pages for system calls, system libraries for X11 and for regular C libraries and et cetera is also useful. (Good ones can be found on the *BSDs.) So what type of project do you want to work on? When the bb tolkit is ready, maybe you can make some simple apps. Or one tool I would like to have is: a command-line tool where it can read either standard input or from the file(s) selected on the command line. And then it dumps it into the X11 cut buffer. (Hopefully, that is possible.) That would be extremely useful for me. Good luck, Jared, with your programming ... Jeremy C.
