Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Less than Interesting...but helpful... C# lovers, Welcome
Review: Honestly, this book contains all the content that any other freesource domain could have. But, I have to be honest... It tries to give DX9 a very interesting point of view, yet, scoring little. It begins by teaching you the basic things, but in a very dense journey (Lights, Camera Setup, Adapter specs, Etc.). The writer did a smart move by using C#. It really helps the book to be sold. I haven't seen any other book that Shows DX9 in C# (Except for a really crappy one at $18).

If you haven't ever programmed DX or OpenGL before, this book is a feast... Trust me, you won't regret it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Kick Start for Beginers
Review: Only for beginers trust me... its Kick Start...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: great book for beginners
Review: This book goes by fast. It spends just enough time explaining what's going on in the samples for you to be able to understand the ideas. Starts out with a basic empty window program and ends with a fairly basic 3D world. Nothing too advanced.

Those with a good understanding of Direct3D already don't need this book. It maybe a good reference book though.

I had to ding it a star because it tells you that you can download the code examples from the samspublishing.com website but the book isn't even listed there..*shrug*..it lists all of the other books in the Kick Start series though....*double shrug*
