I have read it and in retrospect consider it mostly a waste of time.
The documentation from the X Consortium and from xfree86 is mostly good
and complete if it exists -- the problem lies in finding it and in knowing
what to read in what order.

(Just putting these documents in HTML versions on a web site in a flat
list would probably be an improvement from having to dig them out from
various places and file formats inside the tarball -- I had /not/ expected
such a variety of both!)

Not on programming X, but I've got a book aptly named XFree86 for Linux 
- QUE.

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?

   1. Oreilly published 7 volumes for Xwindow. It deals
  from XProtocol to New X Tool Kits.
   
   2. X Window System Programming By NABAJYOTI BARKAKATI ( PHI )
  It is also nice book to learn all basic concepts.
   
HTH :)

I wanna, where can I get it? Gimmi gimmi gimmi:)

Well I'd like to have such a book, also with how to programm for plain X 
without any toolkits and maybe a slight introdution into toolkits.
And of course introdution into the basic things, network support, differents 
between the different protocoll versions. An introdution into things like 
fontservers and all.
