[C] Hacking your WM with XCB Ebook - venam - 24-03-2013

Hello *nixers,
I've been messing with mcwm for some time now and while doing research I came around this ebook.
There is not a lot to learn from it but it's still a good reference for anyone who wants to read on how to hack a wm.

See you around folks!

It was pretty straight forward but written in german... I could make out the main points but some of it I missed. Probably a good read otherwise.

i3 is always a great source if you want to play with xcb !

The link is dead, sadly.
I'm sorry for your loss.

Sadly I cannot read german, but when I do my homework I'll pick through the code a little.

If there is serious need I could translate the slides into English.

It might interrest me for wmutils. But I don't know if there are informations that might help me there (I doubt so). So I'd appreciate a translation, but there is no serious need for it. It's just to satisfy my curiosity :)
