Title: Great book with a confusing title !
Review: This is one of the best programming titles I've read, for someone who knows 'C' and a bit of C++. It covers most of the basics of Windoze programming (enough to get you going) and then covers DirectX quite well.The title is a mistake. It is not "for dummies" (e.g. a beginners primer). If you have little or not programming experience you will get lost very quickly. It also undersells the book - it is a good book for experienced programmers who want to tinker with DirectX.The *only* flaw I could find was that Lost surfaces don't appear to be mentioned, or handled by the code. It would be nice if Direct3D was covered, but this would involve the book being 6 times its current size.If you want to learn 3D, read the author's "Black Art" book which is Dos-based, but very good.
