http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0672318911/ref=pd_bxgy_text_2/104-9835413-0941569 (KDE Development 2.0) or http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1861003811/qid=1020036859/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_2/104-9835413-0941569 (Beginning GTK+ and GNOME) KDE and GNOME will insulate you from the lower level X APIs somewhat, so general X programming book might not be what you want... Forgive me if I'm not interpreting this right, but when you say programming from the very basics, I wonder if these might be too advanced because they probably expect a certain level of familiarity with general programming concepts. In that case, you might want to learn the basics first and then jump into GUI programming. Learning an interpreted language such as Python or Perl might be the ticket there. I'm sure others might have other opinions about a good first language, which I'm sure the list would be happy to entertain. What is your background in programming? I might be able to steer you into something to start with. Kahli
