Title: this book is the same as "Windows game prog. for dummies"
Review: Attention readers : if you already have "Windows Game Programming for dummies", do NOT buy this book. Most of it is just a copy-and-paste from the Dummies book. The additional content (the book is about 1000 pages long) is definitely not worth buying. The two "bonus" chapters in the Dummies book are now included in the print, which explains the difference in size. And don't get carried away by the "3D" in the title : there is almost NO 3D content in this book. LaMothe says those who want to know about 3D should read the "second tome", what a joke ! This book doesn't exist, and I already paid for supposedly "3D" knowledge. For those who haven't read the Dummies book, it is still a good investment of time and money. But they had rather buy the Dummies book. Others, forget it.
Is the review positive or negative?
