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.
