There are several Motif tutorials available on the net, we only list a couple of them here :
The Motif Zone is a web presence sponsored by ICS which covers Motif topics, and which contains a collection of articles (you'd call it a magazine if they had fixed release dates) about Motif in The Motif Developer. Articles currently seem to get added twice a month.
Ken Lee's home page has a large amount of information on Motif and X, and has lots of interesting links.
Harry's Motif Corner is Harald Albrecht's home page, which has a number of tips and tricks for Motif programmers. The best item he has of course is The Inside LessTif Book which is a professionally looking book with illustrations describing how Lesstif works. You can print the book on any PostScript® printer.
MW3 (Motif on the World Wide Web) is a giant collection of information about Motif. Contains lots of pointers to Motif compliant widgets, applications using Motif, etc.
The X Advisor is a free on-line publication about the X Window System. Even though it's free, registration is necessary. The back issues contain dozens of interesting technical articles. I'm leaving this link here even though The X Advisor looks like it's dead because of the back issues.
SCO has the Motif documentation for 1.2 online at Reference Manual, Programming Guide, Style Guide.
Some general X documentation can be found here.
The Widget FAQ is a list of widgets, freely and commercially alike, some of which can be used easily with Motif or LessTif. A HTML version is at http://reality.sgi.com/widgetFAQ/widget.html, other versions are also available from http://reality.sgi.com/widgetFAQ/.
The LessTif configuration and build process is based on the tools automake, autoconf, and libtool. Ian Lance Taylorwrote a tutorial on these tools. This tutorial is not meant to replace the reference manuals of the tools, it supplements them. The tutorial is now available at http://www.cygnus.com/~ian/configure/.
