Summary: Great Introduction for People that know C#
Comment: I'm not sure the problem the previous reviewer had, but if you already know C# and want to dive into the world of Managed DirectX, this is a great recource.
I've been playing around with DX for about 4 years now so I have a head start in understanding the topic. I thought that the material was perfect for a beginner, and actually wished I had this book back when I was first learning. David clearly states in the introduction that your book isn't there to teach you WinForms and maybe that's the problem the previous reviewer had. If you already know C# this book is a great introduction to Managed DX programming. If you don't know C#, go buy a book on that first.

Summary: Great book, author knows his stuff!
Comment: I really don't understand the previous review. I don't think the person even looked at the book. His review says nothing about the book and I think it is a great book.
after all, the author works for Microsoft and is the game guru there. If he doesn't know what he is talking about, nobody does!
I found all the code that I tried to work out of the box, so I suggest disregarding the previous review and trying the book out.

Summary: Steer Clear Of This One !!!
Comment: Almost as Bad as "DirectX Game Engine Design with C#" !!!
Sorry, but I would steer clear of this publisher (Apres). They now have allowed to badly editted books out the door. There are a few nuggets of interesting information here, but this book is certainly not for the beginner. Poor examples, Poor code explanations. Just an overall confusing book. When will we get a good C# game programming book. If you are looking for a good beginners game programming book look at Sams publishing's "Learn Game Programming in 24 hours". I wish that author would write a C# edition!
