Hello! I'm Paul Varcholik, author of Real-Time 3D Rendering with DirectX and HLSL: A Practical Guide to Graphics Programming.
I'm a programming instructor at the Florida Interactive Entertainment Academy (FIEA) where I teach motivated Masters students about game programming, graphics development, and game engine architecture.
Before coming to FIEA, I was a lead software engineer at Electronic Arts, where I worked on video game titles including Madden NFL Football and Superman Returns.
I'm also the author of two video instruction series: OpenGL Essentials LiveLessons and DirectX Essentials LiveLessons. You can find these videos at informit.com and safaribooksonline.com.
