Ok book, but it only covers retain mode direct3d with.

This is a typical OK book to read if you're a beginner. Minuses-> The author does encapsulate the direct3d objects properly and he doesn't follow the OOP principals. Which makes it almost impossible to reuse any of the code. If your a C programmer and not planning on learning C++ properly...this book is probably ok. For a C++ programmer however the way he programs just breaks way to many OOP principals (irritating to read). The book is still far from being a waste to read and buy for beginners (since there are so few books covering this topic on the market).
