Inside Direct3D (Dv-Mps Inside) Review by Pat Finder

Now needs updating. Based on DirectX7.

Reviewing is difficult because we all know graphics and/or programming at different levels. I am experienced in both computer graphics and MFC/C++.

The full examples, and description of the framework, are listed in the text. That's good. The CD-ROM is very good and gives all examples.

However, I'm working on a DirectX8 program, and the samples won't compile under DirectX8 (MS says code is supposed to be backward compatible). In addition, the examples keep looking for a joystick. I don't have, need or want a joystick. Aparently if you don't have a joystick, it's an error. :-)
