About this title

Synopsis:

Addresses the question, "how do I use the Motif user interface toolkit if I am programming in C++?". The answer encompasses object-oriented programming and design techniques, user interface and design. The book also discusses how to co-ordinate the programming model supported by X and Motif with object-oriented programming models. Young explores each of these topics in various degrees, using the original idea of programming with Motif and C++ as the unifiying theme. He presents techniques for designing new types of software programs, and discusses common architecture for object-oriented, user-interface-intensive programs. Going beyond examples that illustrate the mechanics of calling the Motif library from C++, Young centres each example around explanations of why the program is written as it is, emphasizing the thought process behind the design.

From the Back Cover:

Updated to cover Motif Release 2.0 and X/11 R6, this revised edition shows programmers how to design reusable user interface components and how Motif and C++ can be used together effectively. It goes beyond how to display and manipulate widgets and shows how the object-oriented approach affects an application's design and implementation. In addition to providing X and Motif programmers with a concise introduction to user interface design methods, the book includes code examples that form a useful toolkit.
