Review: Excellent guide to C++ and Game programming. - This is a great book for people wanting to get into game development. Experience with C/C++ is definitely helpful, although not mandatory for the book to be useful. The book walks you through several basic 2D game builds. Instructions in the book are well-defined, and explained. The book doesn't just tell you to "write this code here", but it tells you WHY you write that code there, and what that code does. The sample programs in the book are easy to follow. The instructions make it easy to hack the code yourself and make personal modifications, seeing how they alter the performance and functionality. If I were to give any gripe or critique to the book, it would be that the book focuses on MS Visual Studio. That being said, the instructions are written in such a way, that you can definitely use the book with Linux, but you just need to know the steps to setting up the libraries and dependencies in your IDE or Makefile.
Review: A good book - I found this explained things well for me. It was much easier to understand what I was getting into with this.
