Title: Way out of date
Review: I'm writing this in May 2002. This book is now four years old, so the information is pretty much irrevelant. While one can argue the principles of Windows game programming are the same, you simply can't do much with the information in this book any more. The content, while useful when the book first came out, is just outdated. Besides, there are a lot of inaccuracies in the book (e.g., "first games were written for UNIX mainframes in the 60s and 70s"... UNIX mainframes?).If you are an aspiring game programmer, look for books published within the past 12 months -- and there are many good volumes on DirectX 8 programming.
