Title: Not the greatest...
Review: This book gets you started with Direct Draw and Direct Input. In the beginning, it talks about using the Win API to do graphics programming. Unfortunately, that is the ONLY good part about the book, because the author gets into the details about whats going on.Things change when the author talks about how to use DirectX. Details are get more scarce as he gets deeper into the discussion. This left me hanging without a clue on some of the topics. Above all, there is only ONE chapter about creating games. The rest of the book lightly touches on DirectX's capabilities.
