Synopsis
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.

About the Author
Niall Mansfield is the founder of the European X Window System User group and a former technical director of several technology companies in Cambridge, England. He is the author of Practical TCP/IP and The X Window System: A User's Guide.
Review
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)
