X Window System and MOTIF Programming

This training is targeted primarily at those working (or planning to work) on GUI projects that use the X/MOTIF libraries on the Linux/Unix software environment. This includes technical leads, software developers, maintenance/enhancement project developers, testers (as well as any other stakeholder that deems the knowledge gain useful).

This training starts with a fairly detailed architectural view and window system concepts of the X Window System. It then delves into the programming of GUIs using all three layers of X, namely, the X Library (Xlib), the X toolkit (Xt) and MOTIF. The widget classes, resource management, toolkit intrinsics, etc. are described in detail. The MOTIF UIL/MRM programming layer is also covered. Several well thought-out assignments and case studies help the participant gain a deeper understanding of concepts and new tools/APIs provided.

Throughout, professional / industry best practices are taught and encouraged.

Prerequisites:
Mandatory :

• Participants should undergo the above Linux/Unix Fundamentals with Shell
  Scripting (DG-L0) training or have the equivalent knowledge/skill sets.
• A good working knowledge of the 'C' programming language.
  

Preferable : Application development experience (not necessarily GUI development) on this platform.
