Title: LEARN PROGRAMMING FIRST
Product review: Haven't used this version, however, 2.0 is excellent because it includes standard VC++ 4.2. I use VC++ 4 now for DirectX games -- though the documentation is complicated for even advanced programmers, and didn't help any. To beginners reading this, learn programming first (takes about 1 year), then get Andre Lamonthe's DirectX books. It may take 2 years before you create the simplest Atari-like game, there's so much involved. The very minimal DX game is 3,000+ lines of complex code. According to the other readers, this version doesn't include a distributable VC++ -- DON'T BUY THIS.
