Need a DirectX book suggestion

Post by Netwatcher »

I've been working with DirectX for a while now, dealing only with 2D.
So far I've read "Beginning Game Programming, Second edition"(Concentrates more on game programming then teaching DX, though it does a pretty good job in both).

Are there any 3D DirectX books you would recommand?
maybe a general, advanced DirectX book?

Wow, posting a DirectX topic in a forum full of SDL guys :lo:, probably not the best place but what the heck.

Perhaps the topic should be "looking for directx book suggestions" since the topic "a directx book" reads like you found one and are announcing it. And I don't know of any DirectX books I could suggest to you, sorry. Nothing in Guides & Resources thread, I assume?
I realized the moment I fell into the fissure that the book would not be destroyed as I had planned.
