Summary: Excellent. A must-have book
Review: This is an excellent book on graphics programming for GDI+ in C#. It covers everything: rendering, images, image-manipulation, 2D graphics, transformations, printing, GDI for the Web, and Custom Controls. Well-written, good explanations, and source for both C# and VB.Net. Light on animation, but DirectDraw is where you'd go for heavy-duty animation. Use it to make your own controls with your own look-and-feel.

Summary: Most comprehensive and Practical book I have seen
Review: This is the most comprehensive and practical book I have seen on GDI+. What I found interesting is, author finishes every chapter of the book with a real world practical example which you can use in your daily life programming. I usually don't see this kind of book. By using this book, I learnt how to write graphics application such Text editors, painting applications, image viewser, animator, designers and so on. For a programmer, this book serves very good purpose because it is full with so many samples. I also found Best Practices and Performance chapter pretty interesting. You dont see this kind of chapter in any other book. Again, this chapter has practical code samples. I will have to give it a go. Cheers!
