Title: If I had to do it over again, I wouldn't
Review: This book is over 1000 pages of mindless drivel. The author spends a little too much time explaining how the hardware works and not enough time explaining the code. He doesn't even get into directX until chapter 5, over 200 pages into the book.The title is also decieving, "Fundamentals of 2D and 3D programming." What they don't tell you is that the book itself is COMPLETELY about 2D programming, and if you want to learn 3D programming, there is a "bonus" chapter (only on the CD included) and a list of www links that may or may not help you.I bought Tricks of the Game Programming Gurus and More Tricks of the Game Programming Gurus and was impressed, but with this book I was not.
Is the review positive or negative?
