Rating:
Summary: amazed"
Review: As usual, I was not dissapointed with Andre's latest book. I hope he continues to write such great books, and not pay any attention to reviewer's who are jealous of his writing talents. The programming community would be lost without his books. Thanks again.

Summary: Explanations are helpful
Review: I think this is a solid book. I'm about 3/4 of the way through but I thought I'd write a little blurb since people seem so critical. It's been helpful. I think the author does a good job emphasising basic facts to make people understand things. I have 2 or 3 other books from Mr. LaMothe so I look for new ones from time to time... Good work :P

Summary: Fantastic!
Review: I was surfing the net,and didn't know this book "Tricks of The Windows Game programming Gurus (2ND Edition)" had been released.
Andre never missed a beat from the 1ST Edition to the just released 2ND Edition. I find it hard that one author can continue
to write one book after the other, and keep this reviewer wanting more and more! I am only half way through the book and had to write this review. Just a fantastic book. Thanks Andre'

Summary: Only Published Authors Should Be Allowed to Write Reviews
Review: I have been reading Andre's book for many years. I was even mentioned in one years ago in the acknowledgements. It is far to simple for people to just say a book is bad. I suggest that everyone who has written a bad review to ANY book, try writting a book themselves. I suggest that anyone who is trying to get into computer gaming, pocket pc gaming and/or online gaming not only read Andre's books but also get in touch with him as I know he works with all his readers to help them along and further their enjoyment in game programming.

Summary: Andre Has Done It Again
Review: This book is a great addition to the orignal"Tricks of The Windows Game Programming Gurus". It has to be the best I have ever purchased and the CD is fantastic. It has just enough review from the orignal book! The author is funny, competent, and his unique writing style keeps you focused through out his books. Looking forward to your next book! To the previous reviewer the "Induction can also be found in the contents of the book. Thanks again Andre for writing this book.

Summary: great book
Review: I agree with my fellow hackers opinions listed above.
Andre is a good author,but I think that he should walk newbies
through the learning stages of programming in a more professional
manner.
It's still a good book.
Save your money and buy'Game Programming All In One'.
Author: Bruno de Sousa (2002)
It was edited by Andre LaMothe, but written by another author.
I think this is one of the best books for beginning C/C++
Game Programmers.

Summary: Maybe Lamothe should read 3D books instead of writing...
Review: Amazing! His books are STILL stuck in the early 90's and he or the publisher STILL use misleading titles to lure experienced developers to what seems like a never ending rewrite of his For Dummies book... I'm sure there's a great deal of money in the broad "intro game dev" market when compared to the relatively small "experienced/pro 3D developer" market. Maybe in a couple of years Lamothe will start covering techniques used by real developers using DirectX 7 or 8... Till then, this guy's books are on my "must avoid" list...
Rating:
Summary: I have to agree
Review: I have to agree, all of the books are really just rewrites... The thing that really upsets me is that they don't teach what he claims they teach. There really should be a law or some kind of rule that says a title and backcover must explain the contents of the book and not what the author would have liked too have written.

Summary: Wow man
Review: First off, I would like to thank Andre for writing another "excellent" book. To the previous reviewer I'd like to say one simple thing. This book is not targetted towards experience game programmers, which you tried very hard appear that way. It is meant for newbie game programmers, like myself, that have a little programming experience. I don't know about you, but Andre is an excellent writer with more experience in the field that you will ever obtain in 2 lifetimes. I for one find his commentary amusing and funny, very much so breaking away from the boring page to page jargon most technical writers tend to give. It is true that he has many different books out on the subject, yet almost all of them contain new information on various subjects. This book, Tricks of the Windows Game Programming Gurus Second Edition, is a remarkable book, and I'm only through half of it! Andre keeps the pages turning with excellent examples and only he could break a program up to make it this easy to understand. The information and software on the CD was worth my [money]. Next time you go to post a review on such an acclaimed programmer and writer, stop for a second and read the introduction, which can usually be found online, which clearly states this book is for those new to game programming and for the advanced (being used as a reference). Before I end my ranting, I'd just like to say thanks to Andre for writing this book.
