Thorn A. DirectX 9 User Interfaces: Design and Implementation

2004, 377 p.
With all books there is a targetaudience, and although the dis- tinction between those suited and unsuited to this title is somewhat nebulous, I feel confident in advocating that readers wanting to learn more about DirectX and sensible user interface design, and who have a solid comprehension of Microsoft Visual C++, as well as a basic grasp of general COM principles, are likely to receive most of the benefits this title offers. Knowledge and experience of other related software or technologies can be seen as a bonus for, but not essential to, understanding the examples and methodologies presented throughout this text. Having said all of that, however, far be it from me to set any pretensions and strict criteria. I wouldn’t wish to deter anyone who is keen to learn and willing to try;all are welcome here.
