Title: No bedtime stories please, I'm studying.
Review: Many of us have said "I want to be a gameprogrammer!" but as soon as we start reading our first how-tobook we fall asleep. If you want a bedtime story to knock you out, don't buy this book! It's likely to keep you up all night reading. Breaking away from the boredom of simple technical writing, Andre LeMonthe weaves together information, visualization, and entertainment, much like that zany high-school teacher we love to listen to. I've been taking college courses in programming for a year now and I found this book to be and excellent reference source. The material covered in this book, such as sound, AI, and how to use binary shifting, complements my classes and often explains things better than some of my instructors. If you truly want to learn programming, or simply want to become a better programmer, I highly recommend this book. Even after you've read it, it will make an invaluable desk reference book.
