The Zen of Direct3d Game Programming It has gotten bad reviews...which I didn''t know till after I bought it. To me the book seems great so far, but having no prior expierence in graphics programming I do not know what tecniques to avoid. For now I just want to learn 2d and do some basic games using that. The next chapter starts using 2d with DirectX, up till now its been using the GDI. So to anyone that has read this book, do I continue and just keep in my head that things can be done other ways (as with everything in life)? or, do I get a different book before I get to far?

I have that book, I find it''s an enjoyable read.. but his cracks at M$ gets redundent after a while.


Wether it''s a good book or not I couldn''t tell youl.
