Title: If you don't know DirectX, don't buy it!
Review: I know C and C++ very well, and have some knowledge in Windows programming using API and MFC. But all this background couldn't help me a bit in learning DirectX from this book. The first six chapters explain the Windows API, and I could follow the author because of my previous knowledge, but when he starts to talk and through some API code about DirectDraw, you realize that he is not talking to a dummy! And the book is switched to "A Reference for the Rest of Us!" I suffered with chapters 9 and 10 because he threw tons of lines of functions and structures without explaining their purpose, and I gave up reading. I'm a big fan of "For Dummies" series, but some books don't rise to a dummy's level! And this book is one of them.
