Many people try to learn it and get extremely frustrated by the complexity.
The purpose of these tutorials is to ease you into Motif programming as smoothly and as quickly as possible, despite the complexity associated with the environment. It really isn't that hard to get started, as long as you concentrate only on the essentials at first. Once you know the essentials, then the rest can be added incrementally and very quickly over time. Prerequisites Before you can start to learn Motif, there are several prerequisites that you must meet. You must know Unix and C first, and it doesn't hurt if you have experience with Unix system calls.
