Decent intro but outdated

This is a nice basic introduction to game programming but, as mentioned before, there are mistakes. The version of Directx code is out of date.

Usually, one can go on-line and get updates to the code from the developer that fix the mistakes and get the code working with later releases.

Unfortunately the author has not updated the code and it doesn't look as though the web site has been touched for a couple of years. It is riddled with missing links and php errors. For that reason alone, I just can not recommend this book to people who don't have much experience as developers.
