What little C++ (shouldn't that be D?) programming I've done has been
aided and abetted by Tom Swan's weighty tome - GNU C++ For Linux. ISBN
0-7897-2153-8, 800 pages for a snip at 35 quid. It includes some X
programming using raw Xlib, though for X you'd be better off running
of the X toolkits (FLTK is a relatively simple one to get started with).
