商品の説明
内容紹介
Aimed at those new to the system seeking an overall understanding first, and written in a clear, uncomplicated style, this reprint of the much-cited 1993 classic describes the standard windowing system for Linux, UNIX, and other operating systems. Widely recommended as a course text, this thorough representation of the entire X window system allows complete understanding of the relation between its various components, and how they interact with applications. Although this is a technical book, it does not assume advanced programming or system-administrative experience--great for those laying a foundation for later work. This is an ideal guide for system and network managers, programmers, and technical-end users.
レビュー
User interfaces come and go, but X remains the standard window system across a range of operating systems. Niall's book, "The Joy of X", still offers an excellent look into how X works and how to make it work better for you. (Keith Packard, X.org project)

Same book, same author, but slightly different name

A challenging book. The challenge is to find the differences with the book "The Joy of X: An Overview of the X Window System", by Niall Mansfield, published in 1992. These two books have the same number of pages, each page starts and finishes with the same words, the diagrams are the same, the words on each page are the same. They are the same book silently rebadged.
The text of the book finishes by saying "X is a dynamic and rapidly expanding area...". Things have changed in the eighteen years between these publications. For example, X is now managed through Xorg, not The MIT Consortium, but there is no mention of Xorg in the current book. The table of X releases on page 121 is badly out of date. A major user of X is Linux, but there is no direct mention of Linux. The Gtk toolkit is possibly the most commonly used X toolkit today, but it does not get mentioned. There are many other problems. Unfortunately, the poor example of representative Xlib programming (pp 134-5) remains unchanged. This current book needs major revisions to update its information. However, the basic information is well presented and well worth having for reference.
So, if you have a copy of the 1992 book, you will be disappointed with this one as it is no update on the original.
