Presuming that that means basic low-level X stuff, here's my (fairly
old) X programming links.  Try the last one first.

<li><a href="http://www.pconline.com/~erc/xprog.htm">Programming X APIs</a></li>

<li><a href="http://www.cco.caltech.edu/~jafl/xdnd/">XDND - X Drag 'N Drop</a> (proposed standard
protocol)</li>

<li><a href="http://synergy.caltech.edu/~john/computer/mxt/">John Meacham's mxt</a> "a fast and simple
X toolkit for C++" (for building into a program)</li>

<li><a href="http://www.pconline.com/~erc/xprog.htm">Eric Foster-Johnson's Programming X
APIs</a>&nbsp;</li>

<li><a href="http://www.hex.net/~cbbrowne/xlibs.html">Christopher B. Browne's X Development
Tools</a>&nbsp;</li>

<li><a href="http://www.cuj.com/link/subject75.html">X Windows Programming</a>&nbsp; Article at C/C++
Users Journal</li>

But if you want to use a high-level GUI library, find the web sites for
those which should tell you how to use them.  That's a good, easy(est)
way to make a (big, slow) X program.  Qt, OpenMotif, etc...
