Review

In 3D Graphics Programming for Windows 95, Nigel Thompson develops a C++ wrapper library for DirectX, an applications programming interface that has become the de facto standard for games programming on Windows 95 platforms. The book comes with a CD-ROM that contains sample code, interesting examples, and the DirectX 2 Software Development Kit (SDK). The advantage of working with a package such as this one is that it effectively hides mundane details and lets you focus on the creative aspects of computer graphics.
