Dear all,
the day has come when I need to do some elementary programming
(open a window and draw pixels into it). I started with chapter 27
from Stevens: Advanced UNIX Programming, being my favourite author,
but the examples seem to be a bit outdated, at least the manpages
of the X functions describe a slightly different interface.
At any rate, the example below does not open a window.
I am looking at
https://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/libX11/libX11/libX11.html
next, but do people have a favourite X programming intro?
I found that http://incise.org/tinywm.html covers some basics,
especially the annotated version.

Not free but the following may be useful: Maloney, "Low Level X Window
Programming" (https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-319-74250-2)
